It is with great sadness that we hear of his passing. He will be fondly remembered as not only one of the Toronto Maple Leafs best and most endearing former players, but also as an ambassador of the team for as long as I can remember.
I am too young to have saw Bower play, but as a life-long Leafs fan, he has been present at every event that I remember where the Leafs brought out past players. He was often at games, on TV and in the news. If you’re a Leafs fan, even a young one, you probably know of countless Bower stories.
