Brendan Shanahan’s statement on the passing of Börje Salming
The Toronto Maple Leafs mourn the loss of Börje Salming. Börje was a pioneer of the game and an icon with an unbreakable spirit and unquestioned toughness. He helped open the door for Europeans in the NHL and defined himself through his play on the ice and through his contributions in the community.
Börje joined the Maple Leafs 50 years ago and will forever be a part of our hockey family.
