Doug Gilmour was the Hero of The Toronto Maple Leafs Franchise for many years. Witht he aquisition of Doug Gilmour in the 1991-1992 season came the excitement and Passion to the game of Hockey In Toronto.

He unlike those already shown in the blast to the pasts, had a supreme passion for the game that he made very evident to all. He would make it an obligation to go through hoops for the fans of the Leafs, and in doing so re-ignited the passionate flame the Leafs Franchise had been lacking for years previous.
