Number 5 retired by Toronto Maple Leafs

Cult/Star player for Toronto Maple Leafs

William "Bashin' Bill" Barilko presumeably passed away on August 26, 1951. He had joined his dentist Henry Hudson on Hudsons aeroplane for a fishing trip to Seal River, Quebec. However, the plane and its passengers went missing. On June 7, 1962, the wreckage of the plane was found about 35 miles (56 km) off course.
