John Brophy was 83. He spent the bulk of his hockey career as a player and coach in the Eastern Hockey League but I knew him best as head coach of the Leafs from 1986 to 1988.
He was coach for one of my first favourite Maple Leafs memories, a first round sweep of the Chicago Black Hawks in 1986-87.
