Jean Beliveau's star on Canada's Walk of Fame in Toronto cracked

TORONTO - Cold Canadian winters and wear and tear have taken a toll on the star of the late hockey legend Jean Beliveau.

A large, jagged crack has separated the bottom left corner of Beliveau's star on Canada's Walk of Fame from the rest of the red granite stone plaque in Toronto's theatre district.

His former NHL club, the Montreal Canadiens, is hoping the marker honouring "Le Gros Bill," will be fixed.

"We would certainly hope the Jean Beliveau's star would be repaired," said Canadiens spokeman Donald Beauchamp in an interview with The Canadian Press.
