jammer2 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 @Leach27 The tiny little town of Tecumseh, Ontario is a 10 miles from my hometown of Windsor. For a tiny place of 26,000 they have kicked out a LOT of hockey talent over the years. TIm Kerr 4 time 50 goal scorer, Adam Graves captained the Rangers and Spits, scored 50 at his height of NHL stardom. Other NHL'ers are Bob Probert (a Windsor native, but lived in Tec for a while), Warren Rychel and Bob Boughner former NHLers and present owners of the Spitfires, former Spits captains Mark Renaud and Ernie Godden. Mark had a nice NHL career, but Ernie never made it, but STILL holds the all time OHL record for most goals in a season with 87. I met Tim a few times, very humble, a really nice guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDI-Flyer Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 As Signman used to say Kerr-plunk... One of the all time best goal scorers in the NHL, never mind the Flyers. My one regret is that I never saw him play live, only ever seen him on DVD/video. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blocker Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Tim Kerr and John LeClair had their careers shortened by repeated cross checks to the back. Players who weren't able to defend against their strengths within the rules, were allowed mugging rights against these two. John LeClair played in a Stanley cup playoff series at a time in which he had to be helped in and out of a car because of his injured back. I watched Timmy Kerr trying to land a gig with Hartford in preseason, when it was obvious that he couldn't stand erect due to spinal harm. It was a courageous try. And sad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murraycraven Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 TK is a great guy... In college we rented a shore house from him and he was super cool. One day he showed up just to make sure everything was ok and we ended up playing horse shoes for hours while drinking beers. Great Flyer and great guy...

blocker Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Tim Kerr is one of the good guys. Thankfully, that's still the norm among hockey players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe it or not - MY all time favorite Flyer (sorry - Recchi is a Pen to me ) even though he just killed the Pens in the 1989 Playoffs. Killed them. They just could not get him out from the front of the net. I think he had 8 or 9 goals in the series and that was the first Pens playoff series I was old enought to remember.
