Ex-Toronto Maple Leafs forward passes away at 86
Some sad news to report on in the hockey world on Monday evening as the Toronto Maple Leafs announced that former player, Ken Girard has passed away at the age of 86.
Girard, a native of Toronto, began his hockey career in the OHA in the mid-1950s playing for the Marlboros, before joining the Maple Leafs organization in 1956-57.
