We discuss Frank Mahovlich on the Old Time Hockey Series
After immigrating from Croatia, his family settled in Schumacher just outside of Timmins Ontario . Frank played with the Schumacher Lions of the NOHA and drew the attention of all six NHL teams. He would move to the St.Michaels Majors after agreeing to play for the Toronto Maple Leafs
From there he would lead the team in scoring multiple years in a row and he would be a major part of the Maple Leafs dynasty in the 1960's. After the pressure of playing in Toronto got the better of Mahovlich after the 1967 season he would be traded to Detroit and thrive there.
We also discuss Frank's time with the Toronto Toros of the World Hockey Association. What would have happened if the Toros acquired Daryl Sittler?
We encourage you to listen to this episode to see what happens for Frank after that.
