November 10: On this day in 1986, King Clancy died after 42 years of service with the Maple Leafs as a player, coach, and assistant general manager. During the difficult 1970s and '80s Clancy was one of the bombastic owner's few friends and even took over as an interim coach in 1971-72 when Johnny MacLellan was hospitalized with ulcers. The previous year Clancy was his old fiery self when he screamed at Madison Square Garden fans to return Bernie Parent's mask after it was flipped into the crowd by New York's Vic Hadfield during a heated playoff game. By the mid-'80s, Clancy was a goodwill ambassador for the club and his death in saddened millions. The King Clancy trophy is awarded annually to a player for his charitable community work.
