In August of 1977, Tim Horton was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame, just 3 years after losing his life in an automobile accident. Known as "the strongest man in hockey " during his career, he helped the Toronto Maple Leafs win 4 Stanley Cups. He would have been only notable with hockey nerds except for the fact that before he died, he was the namesake and primary investor for a Hamilton Ontario restaurant selling donuts and coffee. Today, most Canadians live within 100 metres of a Timmies and don't have a clue who the founder was, or that he died crashing his exotic sports car while drunk. (Insert tasteless joke about TimBits all over the QEW...)

I don't think I've ever shared a Don Cherry episode, earnestly, on any social media platform before... but I'll share this clip of him announcing his retirement on his podcast today. He's had it since getting booted from CBC/Sportsnet in 2019.
“This is our last show".
The man is 91.
I don't know why anyone would 'work' until they're 91. But there you go….
Bye Don. No hard feelings, I guess.

I haven't said anything about the #hockeyCanada trial because I am disgusted.
