Maple Leafs great dies

Hall of Fame ice hockey goaltender Johnny Bower died of pneumonia on Tuesday at the age of 93, his family said. Bower spent most of his 15-year NHL career with the Toronto Maple Leafs and won four Stanley Cups in the 1960s. “The entire Toronto Maple Leaf organization is deeply saddened following the passing of Johnny Bower,” team president Brendan Shanahan said. Bower spent 13 seasons in the minor leagues before making his NHL debut at the age of 29. Nicknamed “The China Wall”, Bower twice won the Vezina Trophy as the league’s top goalie.
