In Ontario alone, this movement has fundraised more than $46 million for Special Olympics Ontario. The Ontario Law Enforcement Torch Run is a force to be reckoned with and I am so proud of everything Torch Runners across the province have accomplished thus far! I would like to thank the NHL Alumni Series for their continued support of the Torch Run for Special Olympics. These events are a unique way to participate, raise funds and have fun. Always an event I look forward to! On behalf of the thousands of Torch Runners across this province, I would like to say thank you to all involved. Let’s continue to fuel the passion and keep it going in the name of Special Olympics for 37 more years to come!

INVOLVED BECAUSE WE CARE • 9 8 • HISTORY OF HOCKEY EIDITION From the Ted Lindsay Award to the James Norris Trophy, hockey (and sports) have a history of naming things after former players, coaches and integral people. It’s no dierent when it comes to the Gordie Howe hat trick.No, we’re not talking about a three goal performance of some kind. Rather, a Gordie Howe hat trick includes three dierent hockey plays for a player to accomplish the feat.What is a Gordie Howe Hat Trick?It’s actually pretty simple. The trifecta consists of the player collecting a goal, an assist and a ght in a single game. The rst recorded instance came back on Dec. 22, 1920 — well before Howe was even born According to the Ocial Guide to the Players of Hockey Hall of Fame, it belongs to Hall of Famer Harry Cameron who played for the Toronto St. Pats.The hat trick, though, was named after Mr. Hockey himself, which is odd seeing as Howe only collected two over his long career. So why was it named after him?By all accounts, the collection is named after Howe because of the former great’s all-around game. Over his career, Howe was a major force oensively collecting 801 goals and 1,049 assists in 1,767 career regular season games. But he wasn’t a player that shied away from the physical game either. In fact, he averaged nearly a minute in penalties per game during his regular season career collecting 1,685 penalty minutes over that span.That being said, as was mentioned before, he only achieved the hat trick twice in nearly 1,800 games. “Gordie Howe hat trick? Ha,” said Glenn Hall to Dave Stubbs of NHL.com. “Gordie just kicked the [crap] outta the tough guys and then he didn’t have to ght.” Still, on two occasions, that didn’t work.Gordie Howe’s 2 Hat TricksHowe’s rst hat trick of his nature came on Oct. 11, 1953. The Red Wings were playing the Toronto Maple Leafs at Olympia Stadium. The Red Wings would eventually go on to a 4-0 win over their long-time rivals, but not before Howe notched three signicant plays.Howe assisted on the rst goal of the game — scored by Red Kelly — and added his own tally moments later. But it was a ght against Fern Flaman that earned him his rst Gordie Howe hat trick.Interestingly enough, Howe recorded his second and last hat trick just over ve months after his rst and against a familiar foe nonetheless. Once again, the Maple Leafs were hosted by the Red Wings and the home team blew out the Leafs with a 6-1 victory. This time, however, Howe had a dierent dance partner. Ted Kennedy decided to take on the Wings’ big winger helping Howe achieve the feat for the second time in less than a year.Doubles and TriplesOn occasion, we’ve seen double and triple Gordie Howe hattys. But it happens almost as often as Howe recorded one himself. Twice in NHL history, we’ve witnessed a double Gordie which is when two players, who fought each other, also recorded a goal and an assist in a single game.The rst came on March 9, 2010. The Columbus Blue Jackets were in Anaheim to take on the Ducks — a game the Jackets would eventually win 5-2. After recording a goal and an assist in the second period, Fedor Tyutin fought Ryan Getzlaf at the buzzer ending the second frame. Getzlaf would go on to record his own goal and assist to start the third – giving both their respective hat tricks.October 22, 2024 by Andrew Forbes The Hockey WritersRyan Getzlaf was part of one of the only double Gordie Howe hat tricks to take place and remains among the active leaders in the category. (Amy Irvin / The Hockey Writers)Continued on Pg 10
INVOLVED BECAUSE WE CARE • 11 10 • HISTORY OF HOCKEY EIDITION It happened again on Jan. 10, 2012. Adam Henrique and Jarome Iginla took part in a little tango, while both players would go on to notch a goal and assists (with Iginla recording a second assist in the game as well). Teammates have also recorded this kind of hat trick in the same game on a number of occasions — including once this season (2016-17).In a game between the Los Angeles Kings and San Jose Sharks back on April 5, 2012, both Joe Thornton and Ryane Clowe battled their way to Gordie Howe hat tricks. It was the fourth of Thornton’s career and the third of Clowe’s.Most recently, on March 30, 2017, Dale Weise and Wayne Simmonds locked up their own pair of hat tricks when their Flyers took on the Islanders. Finally, a triple Howe hat trick occurred once back in 1992. On November 14, the Bualo Sabres met up with the New York Islanders. When the nal horn sounded, Tom Fitzgerald (1g-1a), Wayne Presley (1g-2a) and Benoit Hogue (2g-1a) all nished with at least a goal, an assist and a ght.Leaders of the Gordie Howe Hat TrickNo one recorded more Howe hat tricks than Rick Tocchet did over his NHL career. In fact, spanning from 1985 to 2000, Tocchet landed 18 of them – including three during the 1986-87 season (two in the month of January).From there, the list is lled with big-name, well-known players. Ironically, former league disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan sits second all-time to Tocchet with 17 of his own Gordies tied with Brian Sutter.Wilf Paiement (16), Cam Neely (12), Jarome Iginla (11), Keith Tkachuk (10), Gerard Gallant (10), Al Secord (10) and Paul Coey (9) close out the top 10.Bobby Orr had eight of his own. Wendel Clark nished with seven and Lanny McDonald had six during his career. Heck, even Ilya Kovalchuk and Pavel Datsyuk had one in their playing days.Who Has the Most Gordie Howe Hat Tricks?• Rick Tocchet – 18• Brendan Shanahan – 17• Brian Sutter – 17• Wilf Paiement – 16• Cam Neely – 12• Jarome Iginla – 11• Keith Tkachuk – 10• Gerard Gallant – 10• Al Secord – 10• Paul Coey – 9Climbing Gordie’s ListWhile Lucic and Perry might not add to their current numbers when it comes to Howe hat tricks, Benn could grind out a few more Gordies.But the player who is most likely to add to his hat trick total is Evander Kane.At 33, he has a lot of hockey ahead of him. He has oensive prowess and has notched 326 goals and 291 assists in 930 career regular season games. His 1,186 penalty minutes over that time haven’t gone unnoticed either. He has more than 20 ghting majors in the regular season and surely isn’t done yet.Howe Hat Trick OdditiesWhile we’ve talked about double and triple Gordies, we’ve also talked about career leaders and where the name was derived. But we haven’t discussed one time occurrences yet — oddities of the Gordie Howe hat trick.There are two instances that stand out when we’re talking about one-time happenings of the Howe hat trick. The rst was hockey’s version of the CONTINUED FROM PG 9Rick Tocchet remains the all-time leader in Howe hat tricks with 18. (Amy Irvin / The Hockey Writers)triple-double. It happened on April 9, 1981. In a playo game between the North Stars and Bruins in which Minnesota won 9-6.The game consisted of three players reaching the Howe hat trick while two of those players ended up ghting each other on their way to accomplishing the feat. Bryan Maxwell and Bobby Smith both notched hattys for Minnesota, while Brad Park scored a goal, three assists and fought Smith in the process on the Bruins side.The other oddity happened on November 19, 2014. In that game, Steve Pinizzotto was called up by the Edmonton Oilers to take on his former club — the Vancouver Canucks. The oddity was that Pinizzotto notched his rst career NHL goal in the process of reaching the Gordie Howe hat trick. Pinizzotto went on to score just one more goal in his NHL career, a 50% Gordie rate is surely the highest we’ll ever see.While Pinizzotto isn’t the same type of player that this hat trick was named after, most of the Gordie career leaders are – rugged goal scorers, what many consider to be the prototypical hockey player. Sure, they might not take to the ice looking for a Howe hat trick, but every time they get one we pause to think about the legend that bears the name.What do hockey players and magicians have in common?They both do hat tricks.Why do NHL players never sweat?Because of the ice? No. It’s because all the stadiums have lots of fans.When do hockey players dress HA HA HA HAWhen do hockey players dress in formal attire?When it is a tie game.
INVOLVED BECAUSE WE CARE • 13 12 • HISTORY OF HOCKEY EIDITION THE HISTORY BEHIND GRETZKY AND NUMBER 99 IN THE NHL#99 Wayne Gretzky is widely regarded as the greatest hockey player of all time, and his iconic number 99 is forever linked to his legendary career. While most NHL players choose numbers for personal or superstitious reasons, Gretzky’s selection of 99 has a unique and historical signicance that changed the league forever.Gretzky’s connection to number 99 dates back to his early days playing junior hockey. As a child, Gretzky idolized Gordie Howe, who wore number 9 throughout his career with the Detroit Red Wings. Like many young Canadian hockey players, Gretzky wanted to emulate his hero and initially wore number 9 when he joined the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL). However, the number was already taken by one of his teammates, prompting the Greyhounds' coach to suggest a creative alternative: doubling the digit to 99.At rst, Gretzky was hesitant, feeling that 99 was an unusual choice. However, he quickly embraced it as his own, and it became a symbol of his rise to stardom. When he transitioned to professional hockey with the World Hockey Association (WHA) and later the NHL, he continued wearing number 99, solidifying its place in hockey history.Gretzky’s dominance on the ice made the number legendary. Over his 20-season career in the NHL, he shattered records, winning four Stanley Cups, nine Hart Trophies as league MVP, and setting seemingly unbreakable records, such as his 2,857 career points and 894 career goals. His inuence on the game was so profound that when he retired in 1999, the NHL took an unprecedented step by retiring number 99 league-wide. It was the rst and only time in NHL history that a number was permanently taken out of circulation for all teams, ensuring that no player would ever wear it again.Gretzky’s legacy with number 99 extends beyond statistics. The number became synonymous with excellence, sportsmanship, and the global growth of hockey. His success popularized the sport in non-traditional hockey markets like California and Arizona, helping expand the NHL’s reach. Young players around the world idolized Gretzky, and while they could no longer wear number 99 in the NHL, they continued to honor him by adopting the number in minor leagues and recreational play.Today, Wayne Gretzky’s number 99 remains one of the most recognizable numbers in all of sports. It represents not only his individual greatness but also his lasting impact on the game of hockey. His decision to wear the number, initially a practical solution in junior hockey, ultimately became a tribute to his hero, Gordie Howe, and a permanent xture in hockey history. Thanks to Gretzky, 99 will forever be associated with the greatest player the NHL has ever seen.

18 • HISTORY OF HOCKEY EIDITION Top 10 NHL Jerseys: Past & PresentThere have been too many NHL sweaters to count over the years, what with the 30 current franchises and the 17 defunct teams. And then you add alternate jerseys, All-Star Game uniforms… yikes. While not the prettiest sweaters to grace the game, here’s a top-10 list of some of the best NHL jerseys to ever hit the ice, from Quebec to California.# 10 – The Atlanta Flames 1973-80In the team’s brief eight year history, the Atlanta Flames captivated the fans of opposing teams with their rich, red sweaters, accented with gold and white stripes along the bottom hem. While reminiscent of the Detroit uniform, the Flames’ red-white-gold color scheme was topped by the classic aming “A” logo, which can now be seen on current Calgary Flames jerseys- but only if the player is an assistant captain, of course. A classic jersey and a fan favorite even today.#9 – The Boston Bruins 1957-58The Bruins franchise has gone through a lot of uniform changes in its 86 year history… a LOT of changes. Out of the 29 dierent match-ups (many of which were considered some of the ugliest in the NHL) the most interesting had to have been the 1957-58 lineup. Eliminating the third, black jersey, the away sweater was now yellow and the home was the standard white. The pants were black with a gold stripe going along each side of the leg and the traditional Boston “B” crest graced the front of the sweater. However, the arms of the jersey, as well as the socks, kept the striped black-white-gold pattern of the squad’s previous uniform, giving the Bruins an almost jail-house look. If they were going for a “rough” image, it didn’t help- they were still crushed by Montreal in the ’58 nals.# 8 – The Bualo Sabres 1983-87There’s a saying in Bualo: Blue and Gold never get old. And as a life-long Sabres fan, there’s nothing more true when it comes to Bualo uniforms. Believe me, no one needs to be reminded of those awful 1996-2006 black-red-white sweaters with that ridiculous bison logo, or that dreadful alternate red jersey issued in 2000; those are dark shadows on an otherwise great jersey history. That’s why the 1983-87 sweater was the best the boys from Bualo have ever donned. A royal blue sweater with rich, gold stripes on the sleeves, hem and socks, joined by the bison/dual-sabre crest on the chest and each shoulder make it a one of a kind jersey and one of the best selling throwback sweaters to date.#7 – The Calgary Flames 1998-2006Borrowing a bit from the jersey introduced to the hockey world by the 1978-79 Vancouver Canucks, the alternate dark jersey introduced to the Flames-nation in 1998 came on like gangbusters. With the “V” design on the front, back, and sleeves, the dominantly black and red jersey was accented with a yellow stripe and a yellow horse logo with red ames shooting from its nose. The tried and true Calgary “C” still made an appearance on the jersey, sitting atop each shoulder, just above the player’s number.June 28, 2010 by The Hockey WritersTHEHOCKEYWRITERS.COM#6 – The Chicago Blackhawks 1955-presentStarting in 1955, the Chicago Blackhawks changed its logo from the Indian head-dress in a circle to the stand alone logo we know today. Other than that, the uniform has remained generally the same for the past six decades- minus the relentless changes in the stripe-scheme that is. Chicago proved that a team can have a great, classic jersey and not have to change or add anything. e deep red and bone white home and away jerseys, with the addition of the black alternate jersey in 1996, are about as good as you can get in the NHL.#5 – The Colorado Rockies 1976-82Aer a move from Kansas City, the Colorado Rockies suited up with one of the most colorful (and arguably ugly) jerseys to ever hit the ice. e deep blue away jersey, with red and gold stripes on the sleeves and hem was topped by the “C” inside the mountain logo and another “C” crest on each shoulder. One of the most sought aer jerseys today, the Rockies abstract color scheme made this one a real favorite of hockey fans the world over.#4 – The Edmonton Oilers 1979- 1996Who doesn’t love that blue and orange sweater? Well, maybe not Flames fans, but the deep blue, topped with the great Oilers crest on the chest just screams hockey (particularly 1980’s hockey thanks to Gretzky). e traditional Edmonton jersey is completed with white and orange stripes on the hem and sleeves. Unfortunately, 1996 brought about the era of the copper and dark blue color scheme, which gave the uniform a dull look. ankfully, the concept of throwback jerseys came to the NHL in 2008, so fans began to see the old blue and orange once again.#3 – The Montreal Canadiens 2007-presente Reebok Edge uniforms, the standard in the current NHL, introduced the hockey world to a re-vamp of many classic sweaters, including the everlasting Habs jersey. Another sweater that’s stood the test of time, 100 years in Montreal’s case, the Canadiens current jersey is the standard red, with the classic C/H logo set upon a white-blue-white stripe across the center of the chest; numbers on each arm are set above the same white-blue-white stripe. One of the most popular teams in the NHL, Montreal jerseys sell through the roof and this one is no dierent#2 – The Quebec Nordiques 1980-95Jumping over from the World Hockey Association in 1979, the Quebec Nordiques’ jersey remained relatively the same over its short 15 year history. e home white and away light blue jerseys each had three uer-de-lis on the bottom hem and one on each shoulder, just above the player’s number. While a bit boring, the sweater’s logo was just the exclamation point the jersey needed. e big red “N” logo with the hockey stick and puck gave color to an otherwise uninteresting jersey. A fan favorite even today, the Nodiques jersey gave the hockey world another unique uniform.

Along with the name change, the Seals received new jerseys and a new color scheme: gold, white and green. e deep green and rich gold instantly became an NHL classic, with the logo changing from a drawing of a seal to simply the word “Seals” in a diagonal pattern across the chest. e sweater also had white-gold-white and white-green-white stripes on each sleeve and the bottom hem of the jersey. While the green eventually became teal in 1974, the classic gold, green and white, mixed with the simplicity of the jersey itself makes this one of the best hockey jerseys of all time.PROUDCOMMUNITYSPONSORON-599 &, ON-642 SILVER DOLLARON P0T 1T01-807-934-6977WWW.SILVERDOLLARINN.CATIMMINS SEAMLESS EAVESTROUGH705-267-3404265 GOVERNMENT RD.
