RIP: Ron Ellis

The city of Toronto lost one of its great hockey players with the passing of Ron Ellis.  He was 79 years old.

A member of Toronto’s last Stanley Cup Championship team in 1967, Ron Ellis played his entire career with the Maple Leafs (1963-1981) where he scored 640 Points.  Ellis was a four-time All-Star and led the NFL in Game-Winning Goals (7) in 1966-67.  The Right Wing was also known for his philanthropic efforts during and after his playing career.

We here at Notinhalloffame offer our condolences to the fans, friends and family of Ron Ellis.
