Baldy Harold Cotton

January 19:  On this day in 1933, Leafs Hap Day and Baldy Cotton set a team record when they each scored powerplay goals only 9 seconds apart. It was in an era when players served their entire penalty time regardless of whether or not the other team scored. The Leafs defeated the Bruins 3-0. Lorne Chabot picked up the shutout in goal for the Leafs. He is also the man credited with first discovering Bobby Orr when Number Four was just 13 years old, playing in a midget tournament for Parry Sound in a tournament in Unionville, Ontario in 1962 with players two and three years older than him.

Doug Baldwin

January 19:  On this day in 1946, Leaf defenseman Doug Baldwin made his NHL debut in a 3-1 victory over the New York Rangers. He played 15 games for Toronto, recording one assist, before being forced out of the lineup due to an emergency appendectomy. He was traded to Detroit the following September. Baldwin had short stints with Chicago (five games) and Detroit (four games) in the NHL over the next two years before beginning a successful minor-league career that lasted until 1959. He was twice a USHL all-star and later became player-coach of Toledo. Doug Baldwin passed away on July 10, 2007 at the age of 84.
