My Take
What fascinates me about Tim Horton is the strange double immortality he achieved. As a defenceman he gave the Maple Leafs 24 hard-nosed NHL seasons and lifted the Stanley Cup, earning his place in the Hockey Hall of Fame on merit alone. Yet most people today know his name only from the coffee chain. There is something quietly poignant about a man whose athletic excellence has been eclipsed by a brand, and whose life ended far too soon at 44. I admire how both legacies, on the ice and on every Canadian street corner, still carry his name with genuine affection.
