LONG LONG LONG TIME FAN Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Bower dies at age 93 Won Stanley Cup four times with Maple Leafs, inducted into Hockey Hall of Fame in 1976 http://i0.wp.com/thehockeywriters.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/bowerJohnNYR.jpg Goaltender Johnny Bower, who spent 13 seasons in the minor leagues before putting together a Hockey Hall of Fame career that included helping the Toronto Maple Leafs win the Stanley Cup four times in the 1960s, died Tuesday of pneumonia. He was 93. Bower spent the equivalent of a full career in the minors before becoming a full-time NHL goaltender at age 34. Before retiring at 45, the "China Wall" (a nickname that had as much to do with his advanced age as it did his goaltending) won 250 games, including 37 by shutout, and had a 2.51 goals-against average. https://www.nhl.com/news/johnny-bower-dies-at-age-93/c-294370466 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
