The Legends are coming! Next Thursday, November 15th to the Grant Harvey CentreDon't miss Gary Leeman and the rest of the NHL Legends leading up to this huge fundraiser in support of the FYHA.
Gary Leeman, a speedy player with soft hands, played nearly 700 NHL games for five different clubs. He was best known as a gritty scoring machine on the Toronto Maple Leafs with a 50-goal season to his credit.
By the 1985-86 season Leeman was part of the "Hound Line" along with Wendel Clark and beginning in 1986-87, Leeman was a top goal scorer for the Leafs with four-straight 20-goal seasons. In 1988-89, he scored 32 goals and was picked to play in the NHL All-Star Game despite missing 19 games due to injury.
In 1989-90, he formed the potent "GEM Line" with Ed Olczyk and Mark Osborne and became the second Toronto player after Rick Vaive to register a 50-goal season and became the first player drafted as a defenseman, converted to a forward to reach the 50-goal plateau. He dropped to 17 goals the next season when his effectiveness was limited by a shoulder separation.
After nearly nine seasons in Toronto, Leeman was the key player sent to Calgary in the blockbuster trade that brought Doug Gilmour to Toronto. To date, the 10 player deal is the largest in NHL history.
