Played on 4 Stanley Cup Teams

J.P. Bickell Memorial Trophy

Nicknamed

"The Boomer"

Known best for scoring the winning goal in overtime in game 6 against the Detroit Red Wings in the 1964 Stanley Cup Final while playing with broken ankle, which allowed the Leafs a chance to come back and win the seventh game for their 10th Stanley Cup.
He played 964 games during which he scored 37 goals and had 187 assists during the regular season for a total of 224 points. He also played in 96 play-off games, scoring 3 goals and having 12 assists for a total of 15 points.
Baun came to the Leafs in the 1956-57 season from the Toronto Marlies.
He was a force to be reckoned with on the Leaf defence. His philosophy was "You don't have to kill every forward coming down the ice, just slow them up a little." Few opposing players coming into the Leafs end of the rink ever came in with their heads down against Baun.
In the 1967 expansion draft he was taken by the Oakland Seals, but was traded to Detroit a year later. After two years in Detroit, he was traded to Buffalo then to St Louis, and then to Toronto in a span of nine days.
In 1971 Bob Baun won the J.P. Bickell Memorial Cup for as the team's most valuable player

As of May 02, 1997 as noted in the Toronto Star "Where are they now ... the 1966 -67 Maple Leafs", Bob Baun had sold his three donut stores, and was looking to get into the U.S. hockey marketing.
