Actually, dominant may not be the most accurate word. Horton was described by his peers as the strongest player in the league and though he was viewed by some as an enforcer, he never really had a need to try to physically intimidate with his fists as his strength and talent did it for him.
Overall, Tim Horton would be named to six post season All Star Teams and helped the Leafs win four Stanley Cups…..and yes his chain of restaurants makes good coffee!
