Maple Leafs add statues of Keon, Horton, Broda to ‘Legends Row’

A trio of former Toronto Maple Leafs stars will be remembered forever in bronze form.

Statues of Dave Keon, Tim Horton, and Turk Broda were added to "Legends Row" in a ceremony Thursday evening.

The three additions were announced in January and later revealed to be part of the club's centennial celebrations, which will extend throughout the season.

Keon attended Thursday's festivities and posed with his new likeness.

Keon was estranged from the Maple Leafs family for decades before coming back into the fold in recent years. The four-time Stanley Cup-winning forward was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1986.

Horton played defense for the Maple Leafs from 1951 to 1970 and was inducted posthumously into the Hall in 1977, three years after he was killed in a car accident.

Broda tended goal for the Leafs for his entire NHL career from 1936 to 1952. He was a two-time Vezina Trophy winner who was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1967.
