Tim Horton (1930 - 1974)
Founder
Tim Horton was born in Cochrane, Ontario on January 12, 1930. He was signed by the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1949 and performed as one of the steadiest defencemen on the blueline throughout his 22 years in the National Hockey League. He played in 1,446 regular season games, scoring 115 goals and 403 assists for a total of 518 points.
He played 17 full seasons and 3 partial seasons for the Toronto Maple Leafs. He served a short stint with the New York Rangers before being traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins. His final years in hockey were with the Buffalo Sabres, where he played a major role in developing the team’s younger players.
Tim Horton played on four Stanley Cup teams, was an All-Star player six times, and was honoured in 1969 with the J.P. Bickell Memorial Cup in recognition of his outstanding service to the Toronto Maple Leafs Hockey Club. George Armstrong says of Tim, “No finer person, teammate or hockey player ever lived.” In Bobby Hull’s words, “Few players brought more dedication or honour to the game. He was my idea of a pro.”
One of the most heartfelt tributes came from Punch Imlach, then of the Buffalo Sabres. Tim played for Imlach in Toronto during the glory years of the 1960's, and when Buffalo had a chance to pick him up, Imlach didn’t hesitate. “I know he was the backbone of our team in Buffalo”, said Imlach. “(His death) was a terrible loss, not only to his family and the team, but to the game of hockey.”
Gordie Howe has called Tim Horton hockey’s strongest man. In a fight, Horton was known to edge into the melee and “grab a couple” of players to help keep the peace. But despite his legendary strength, he was not a proponent of violence on the ice. Some claim Tim invented the slap shot, and he could always be counted on to get the puck out of his own end of the ice with his “heads up” skating style.
Outside the rink, Tim was just as sharp. He realized that his hockey career would not last forever and sought to find a clever way to add to his hockey salary. After many summers of hustling to make an off-season living, Tim decided to try his luck in the coffee and donut business. The first Tim Hortons franchise opened in 1964 in Hamilton, Ontario. In 1967, with three stores in operation, Tim became full partners with former police officer and franchisee of Tim Hortons Store #1, Ron Joyce. Since then, Tim’s signature has become a prominent fixture in the Canadian landscape – where there are over 2,400 Tim Hortons stores displaying its name sake. The chain has also expanded to the United States where there are more than 260 locations.
Sadly, Tim did not live to witness the chain’s great success. He was traveling back to Buffalo from a game at Maple Leaf Gardens when he was killed in an automobile accident on February 21, 1974. The Buffalo Sabres retired his Number 2 sweater as a tribute to his memory. At the time of Tim’s death, there were 40 Tim Hortons stores.
Tim Horton always considered his good fortune in the proper perspective. He was modestly confident about his abilities, was approachable, generous and considerate. His memory will always be held dear by family, friends, players and business associates alike.

And until you've had some real whiskey you're missing one of life's more enlightening experiences.

I haven't had the pleasure of a cock up my ass either, and I'm really not concerned about that lack.

I've had real whiskey. Some of the best 20 year old scotch ever made, in fact. I recall every single detail of the experience too. Good thing, since the near four hundred quid a bottle means that I'll probably never be able to repeat it. Specially since Ol' John died a couple of years back. I wasn't able to make his funeral, but I'm told his cronies finished the bottle at the grave, and the last measure was buried with his ashes.

Pardon me for a minute. Got summat in my eye.

Tough to do out of a bell jar. Especially after the first round.

Down here, it's apple squeezings. It'll put you right on your ass in hurry.
 
Dude, Prof... he's saying you can't hack a cock up your ass! Are you going to take that challenge lying down?

It takes a real man to drink Tennessee white lightning. Always has.

And a desperate fool to want to, eh? I'll just file Tennessee while lightning right there with Tonks's supposedly not-so-spicy food. If I want to abuse my body and call it pleasure, I'll hire a professional young lady wearing leather and carrying a whip, thanks.
 
I was talked into tasting some kinda whiskey something something.

Smelled like paint thinner, tasted worse. *shudders*
I can drink JD straight shots, so this stuff was off the charts REAL bad :sick:

I don't blame you. After tasting Canadian "whiskey", I'd say you need the training wheels.

I guess you've been indulging, since your reading skills are failing. I don't recall Canadian whiskey (actually called Rye) ever entering the conversation. Do try to keep up, old boy. There's a good chap.
 
Ah. Pulling an Old Married Woman I see. Gave up on winning the ongoing fight, so you change the subject, and carry on as though that was the original topic. Must have learned that in that Real Man school you attended. Well, I've never had anything good or bad to say about Rye, and since you want to discuss it, I leave you to it.
