On November 2, 2013 when the Toronto Maple Leafs come to Vancouver to play the Canucks, the West Coast franchise will be retiring the fourth jersey in their history. Recent Hockey Hall of Fame inductee, Pavel Bure will have his number 10 hung to the rafters in the place where his North American Professional Hockey career began.
Bure spent his first seven seasons there where he scored 478 Points and was the goal scoring champion in the 1993-94 season. He also won the Calder in his debut season in the NHL. He would later win two Maurice Richard Trophies as a member of the Florida Panthers, but his popularity in Vancouver had few peers.
Bure joins Stan Smyl, Trevor Linden and Markus Naslund to have his jersey retired in Vancouver.
