TORONTO -- The Toronto Maple Leafs honored Hockey Hall of Fame goaltender Johnny Bower, who turned 90 on Saturday, at a stoppage in play during the first period of their game against the New York Rangers. Bower was presented with a framed and autographed crest from each team, and the sellout crowd serenaded him with "Happy Birthday."
Bower served with the Canadian Army during World War II; he was stationed in England from 1940-43. He played parts of three seasons with the Rangers in the mid-1950s, then became a star with the Maple Leafs in the '60s, helping Toronto win the Stanley Cup four times.
