Know Tim Horton

Tim Horton's will forever be known as a place for a tasty treat, but all future Hockey generations should also know just why this man's name was so essential to the creation of a donut empire. He was admired and respected, and if he was playing today he would be exactly the kind of player the NHL would hitch it's marketing wagon to. Skill, size, and heart...what youthful Hockey hopeful wouldn't want to be like Tim? This series has been a magical flashback for fans and I sincerely hope they pick more colorful characters to allow us a look into their locker room.

Nice collection that gives one a feel for a hockey great.

This book is a collection of articles concerning Tim Horton. Very complimentary of the man and player, the articles definitely give you a feel for the time and play of Tim Horton.Known to most of us because of the donuts (and they are really good!), this collection allows a glimpse of the man as well. I would recommend this book for those who want a feel for 50 and 60s hockey, as well as those who want the feel of the times.

An all-star book about an all-time defenseman

To today's young hockey players and fans, the name Tim Horton elicits thoughts of coffee and donuts; to an older generation of fans, the name Tim Horton brings memories of one of the greatest defenseman ever to play the sport.Tim Horton was the strongest hockey player of his generation, perhaps of all-time. He was not a goon, however -- he would end fights simply by wrapping his muscular arms around much-bigger players and pulling them apart. He was known for his generosity and gratitude. His teammates made gentle fun of his poor eyesight, calling him "Cousin Weak-Eyes." Horton and Bobby Baun anchored a Leaf defense unmatched in team history.Tragically, Tim Horton was killed in a car accident in February 1974. Hockey lost one of its heroes.Craig MacInnis's REMEMBERING TIM HORTON is a terrific look back at the man and the legend. MacInnis and his roster of veteran journalists and writers bring us back to the days when honor meant more than stardom, when pride and winning meant more than a contract hold-out and who's picked higher in the NHL draft, when the Leafs were fighting to winning the Stanley Cup instead of hurrying to pack up their golf bags a few weeks earlier than the Cup champions.

Gives insight of a great player through unique perspective.

This is a great book for those interested in hockey behind the scenes. It is very interesting to read stories told by people such as Punch Imlach etc. about Tim Horton off the ice, in the dressing room and family man. This book is not only for those hockey fans of the 6 team days, but modern day hockey fanatics as well.
