Toronto Legends Andrew Applebaum

Toronto Maple Leafs legend Inge Hammarström connects from the South of France to talk about being discovered [with Borje Salming] by Leafs scout Gerry McNamara, leaving Sweden to join the Leafs lineup in 1973, their first practice at Maple Leaf Gardens in front of owner Harold Ballard [shooting on a 50 year old Johnny Bower!], Bobby Orr wishing them well while others were literally threatening to kill them on the ice [and taking slapshots at their unprotected calves from behind], great times with Darryl Sittler/Tiger Williams/Mike Palmateer/Lanny McDonald, his sadness at Borje Salming’s passing from ALS in 2022, the very handsome actor that played him in the Borje docu-series, his surprisingly good relationship with Harold Ballard off the ice, and how his good scouting instincts led him to highly recommend drafting Peter Forsberg [and Jaromir Jagr]!
