Ted (Teeder) Kennedy, the unassuming and gentlemanly native of Port Colborne who helped the Maple Leafs win five Stanley Cups, will be honoured with a statue outside Air Canada Centre. Kennedy’s name was revealed this morning as the kickoff to the Leafs program that will depict in bronze a number of Toronto players. The names of the others are secret for the moment. Kennedy played for the Maple Leafs through the team’s glory years spanning a 15-year period from 1942 to 1957. He was team captain for eight of those years, a job he inherited from his hero, Syl Apps. They are seen at right when Kennedy was Apps assistant captain. Toronto Star Ted Kennedy Wikipedia
