Tim Horton was a standout on the Maple Leaf defense and was the first Leaf to play in 1000 games. A streak of 486 games is a team record.
He was selected to the All-Star Team six times while with the Leafs.
It is said that Gordie Howe called Horton, "hockey's strongest man".
Tim Horton was a very generous and considerate individual and was easily approachable. George Armstrong was quoted as saying, "No finer person, teammate, or hockey player that ever lived".
According to Bobby Hull, "Few players brought more dedication or brought more honour to the game. He was my idea of a super pro".
In 1972, Punch Imlach, who was then with the Buffalo Sabres, picked up Horton when he became available. He stated "I know he was the backbone of our team in Buffalo".
During his career, he played 1446 regular season games in which he scored 115 goals and had 403 assists for a total of 518 points. He also played in 126 play-off games scoring 11 goals and 39 assists for 50 points.
Tim Horton was killed in a car accident on February 21, 1974 on his way home to Buffalo after a game in Toronto.

As quoted from the - "The Leafs - The First 50 Years" - "The man who "at heart .....was always a Leaf" will be long remembered as one of the best defense men and one of the finest gentlemen ever to wear the Leaf colours."
