Wendel Clark, Frank Mahovlich among 4 additions to Leafs’ ‘Legends Row’

Wendel Clark, Frank Mahovlich, Red Kelly, and Charlie Conacher will soon be immortalized by the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The club announced the quartet as additions to its "Legends Row" in a pregame ceremony Saturday.

The four new statues will be unveiled in the fall and will join 10 others already unveiled outside Air Canada Centre including the likenesses of Mats Sundin, Dave Keon, Darryl Sittler, and Johnny Bower.

Clark is one of the most popular players to suit up for the Leafs in their history. He played parts of 13 seasons with the club in three separate stints, setting the franchise rookie record with 34 goals in 1985-86, and wore the 'C' as team captain from 1991 to 1994.

Mahovlich spent parts of 12 seasons in the blue and white, winning four of his six Stanley Cup championships with the Leafs and capturing the Calder Trophy as the league's top rookie in 1958. The Hockey Hall of Famer is tied for sixth on the franchise's all-time goals list and ranks seventh in points.

Kelly won the Cup eight times in his career, and four of those titles came with Toronto. He has the most championships of any player to never play for the Montreal Canadiens, and he was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1969.

Conacher led the NHL in scoring five times and was inducted into the Hall in 1961.

The four players' numbers were retired by the Leafs along with 12 other previously honored players in a pregame ceremony back in October.
