The Salming 1148 Through Toronto’s Eye
Following the unveiling at the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto, the Toronto Sun featured the Salming 1148, sharing the story behind Börje’s watch and the many details connecting it to his life, Sweden and Toronto.
“The Salming 1148, commemorating the late Leaf’s total NHL games, was the Hall of Famer’s last project.”
The article reflects on Börje’s remarkable place in Maple Leafs history, while exploring the personal details he brought into the Salming 1148 – from the CN Tower and his No. 21 to the King’s crown and references to his northern Swedish roots.
We’re grateful to the Toronto Sun for joining us and sharing such a special evening in Toronto.
