Reginald 'Red' HORNER, National Hockey League Hockey Player: The bad-boy captain of the prewar Toronto Maple Leafs shared the ice with such legends of defence as 'King' CLANCY and established a record for penalties that stood for 20 years
By James CHRISTIE, Friday, April 29, 2005, Page S7
The night of December 13, 1933, was a landmark night in the history of the National Hockey League. The career of Toronto Maple Leaf Irwin (Ace) BAILEY was ended with a life-threatening head injury suffered when he crashed to the ice following a hard check by Boston Bruins' Eddie SHORE.
What is not always mentioned is the fact that Mr. BAILEY was not the only man carried off the ice at Boston Garden that night. He had an avenger, a flame-haired bad boy named "Red" HORNER, the prototype of hockey's "policeman."
Red HORNER was the oldest Toronto Maple Leaf captain and oldest living member of the Hockey Hall of Fame. Red HORNER embodied Toronto Maple Leaf history. He was on the ice for the very first shift played at Maple Leaf Gardens in 1931 and was involved in ceremonies at the closing of the Gardens on February 13, 1999.
On the dangerous night in Boston Garden, Mr. BAILEY recalled in a 1985 interview with The Globe and Mail's Paul PATTON that "SHORE took my feet from under me. I wasn't facing him and when I fell, my head hit the ice and I went into convulsions.
"SHORE was standing over at the other side of the rink when Red went over and said, 'Put up your hands, I'm going to hit you.' And HORNER did. One punch was all he needed. The boys told me afterwards that they carried SHORE out feet first, just moments after they carried me out, and they needed seven stitches to sew him up."
While Ace BAILEY was still unconscious and recovering from surgery done at Boston City Hospital to relieve pressure on his brain, "My dad went to Boston and he checked into the Copley Plaza hotel because he knew that was where Conn SMYTHE (the Leaf manager) was staying. He had a.45 revolver with him and wanted to know where he could find SHORE. SMYTHE said, 'Let's go up to my room and have a chat.' SMYTHE got two of the hotel policemen to come up, and they must have slipped dad a couple of mickeys. SMYTHE put him on the train back to Toronto and Dad didn't wake up until he was back in Canada. Two weeks later, he got his gun back through the mail."
Fortunately, Red HORNER was all the avenger the Toronto Maple Leafs needed most nights during his 12-year career. Hockey feuds were serious matters and Mr. HORNER was hockey's version of the blunt instrument.
"Red" HORNER was born in a small rural community near Brantford, Ontario He was the son of a farmer. The HORNER family moved first to Ancaster, where he started school, then to Hamilton and eventually to Toronto. He was playing bantam hockey with North Toronto by his early teens, living with his half-brother who was a grocer, and his wife.
He was one of 72 players trying out for Frank SELKE's Marlboro juniors in 1926 and although young Red did not distinguish himself in that first practice, Mr. SELKE felt that he would be as patient as possible with him. The fact that Red was Mr. SELKE's grocery boy didn't hurt his chances.
Leafs founder Conn SMYTHE was a builder and well acquainted with Mr. SELKE, who was business manager of the electrical union. Mr. SELKE's autobiography recounts how Mr. SMYTHE was tiring of his Leafs being manhandled by the likes of the Montreal Maroons but couldn't pry any strong physical talents away from other National Hockey League teams.
Mr. SELKE's suggested solution was for Mr. SMYTHE to unload his vulnerable veterans and fill the lineup with robust kids from the Marlboros. Red HORNER made his National Hockey League debut on Saturday, December 22, 1928. He had already played a Friday night game with the Marlboro juniors and a Saturday afternoon match with a senior team when he was informed he'd be suiting up as a Toronto Maple Leaf that night at Arena Gardens on Mutual Street, the predecessor of Maple Leaf Gardens.
In a 2003 interview with the Internet site legendsofhockey.net, he recalled his debut: "He said, 'I'll tell ya what I'm gonna do. I'll pay you $2,500 for the balance of the season.' I thought about it and it sounded pretty good because I was making $25 a week as a clerk at the Standard Stock Exchange.
"I said, 'Well Mr. SMYTHE, I've only seen two pro games in my life before, I don't know any of your players, I haven't a car but if you'd like to pick me up and take me down tonight, I'll take you and introduce you to my mother and father.'
"He said, 'That's a deal,' and we shook hands on it. No signing or anything, just a handshake."
He was not a graceful skater but could move the puck quickly and possessed a gift for concentration under pressure. He could make a pinpoint pass while two forecheckers were zeroing in on him.
His tough, physical style of play earned him the league leadership in penalty minutes for eight of his 12 National Hockey League seasons. He set a record for penalties that lasted 20 years.
Mr. SMYTHE dispatched Mr. HORNER to a summer camp to work out and to put on weight in the summer of 1931. He was trained by Olympic pole-vaulter Ed ARCHIBALD. By the end of the summer, Mr. HORNER had gone from a soft 180 pounds to a solid 190.
In 1932, he was on a Stanley Cup winner with Toronto. For seven of his seasons, he played alongside another Toronto legend on defence, Francis Michael (King) CLANCY. Mr. HORNER played his entire career with the Maple Leafs and served as team captain from 1938 until his retirement in 1940. In 490 regular season games, he scored 42 goals and added 110 assists for 152 points. But his scoring statistics pale beside the fact he collected 1,264 penalty minutes during that time. He once collected 17 penalty minutes in the first 20-minute period of a game.
The scuffles didn't end when he retired as a player. Mr. HORNER, like Mr. CLANCY, turned to officiating and was an National Hockey League linesman for two seasons. On January 11, 1943, at Maple Leaf Gardens, he was working a game between the Maple Leafs and Detroit Red Wings when Detroit manager Jack ADAM/ADAMS berated him, alleging he had missed an icing call. Later in the game, Mr. HORNER lined up for a faceoff near the Detroit bench and Mr. ADAM/ADAMS reached out and shoved him, claiming he was blocking the view. Mr. HORNER swung around with an elbow that grazed his chin. Mr. ADAM/ADAMS shoved him again. Detroit player Syd ABEL took a swing at Mr. HORNER, who shoved Mr. ADAM/ADAMS hard before referee Bill CHADWICK stepped in.
Mr. HORNER went on to a business career managing North American Coal in Cleveland, Ohio, where he was the majority owner.
George Reginald (Red) HORNER was born in Lynden, Ontario, on May 28, 1909. He died in Toronto on April 27, 2005. He was 95. He was predeceased by his wife.

Gunfire claims 2 more
By Henry STANCU and Betsy POWELL, Staff Reporters
Three men were shot dead in two separate ambushes within blocks of each other in Rexdale this weekend, leaving police trying to find a connection between the slayings.
Last night, two gunmen opened fire around 6: 30 on the occupants of a car in the heavily travelled intersection at Martin Grove Rd. and Finch Ave. W. The beige Acura, which had been travelling north on Martin Grove, then turned right on Finch and veered off the road before mounting the curb and stopping against a mesh fence surrounding Elmbank Junior Middle Academy.
Fahim TALAKSHI, 25, who was shot in the head, lay beside the car and was pronounced dead by paramedics.
Aleem REHMTULLA, 26, also shot in the head, was taken to Sunnybrook hospital where he died. Both were from Oakville.
Two suspects were seen running from the area. One is described as black, in his early 20s and is 6 feet tall, about 150-160 pounds. He was wearing a black, waist-length coat, with tear-away pants and dark shoes.
The second suspect is black, about 5-foot-8 to 5-foot-10 and 170 pounds. He was wearing a dark coat with a dark hood over a white hat.
"There's large quantities of blood located in the intersection. At this time we can't ascertain if the blood is from the victims in the vehicle or a third party who left the vehicle or if there was an exchange of gunfire between the people in the vehicle, or the people who were outside the vehicle," said Insp. Mike EARL.
It's unclear whether the Acura had come to a stop when the shooting erupted. Stray bullets hit a number of vehicles in the immediate area, said police, who were questioning pedestrians and motorists as potential witnesses.
The double homicide happened just 26 hours after Brandon ARCHIBALD- STERLING's life came to a sudden, violent end as he walked in a nearby laneway and a dark blue, late model minivan with dark-tinted windows pulled up behind him.
As police officers from 22, 23 and 31 divisions and traffic services closed off the main roads in all directions of the scene, a tracking dog was brought in to follow the trail of the fleeing suspects. Officers there hunted the grounds with flashlights.
"Man. Another shooting. This is getting to be too much," said a man who identified himself as George. "I live where the other guy (ARCHIBALD- STERLING) was killed yesterday. This place is like a shooting gallery."
"We've lived here 10 years and it's just gotten worse lately.
"A lot of people are afraid," said a resident who came to the intersection to see what happened and did not want to be identified.
Northwest Toronto was rocked by shootings this summer though the streets quieted down after police rounded up suspected gang members September 15 as part of Project Flicker, targeting the Ardwick Blood Crew.
Many of those arrested on drugs and weapons charges grew up in a public housing project on Ardwick Blvd., near Finch and Islington Ave., also a short distance from these latest killings.
More than a month had passed since the city's last fatal shooting, a triple homicide that also took place in Etobicoke.
On September 16, a gun battle erupted inside a parked car near an apartment on Tandridge Cres., near Albion Rd. and the Humber Valley Golf Club.
Two men died at the scene, a third succumbed to his injuries a few days later in hospital.
This weekend's gunfire brings the year's homicide total to 64, while the number of firearms homicides climbs to 44, a record number.
This year's escalating gun violence has already prompted police to redeploy officers to trouble spots and launch other initiatives aimed at halting the bloodshed.
Ottawa is also planning to beef up its response to gun crime, the Star reported this weekend.
Due to be unveiled by the end of November, the multi-faceted approach includes introducing tougher rules on sentencing and parole in gun crimes, including longer minimum sentence provisions and lifetime firearm-ownership bans on repeat offenders.
Minimum sentences of one year in some firearms offences could be doubled to two years, and 10-year ownership bans would be extended to lifetime prohibitions, a source told the Star. Another option being considered is for Canada to sue U.S. gun manufacturers for the spread of illegal weapons into this country.
It's estimated that almost half the gun crimes committed in Canada involved illegal U.S. weapons.
While the identity of the shooter and origin of the gun are unknown, a firearm was used to snuff out the life of ARCHIBALD- STERLING around 4: 25 p.m. Saturday.
Police say he was approached from behind by a slow-moving van when an occupant opened fire, striking the 22-year-old who collapsed beside a housing complex at 9 Kendleton Dr., near Finch Ave. W. and Albion Rd. Emergency services workers rushed to the scene and transported him to hospital where he later died.
While there are witnesses: helping police, "they're limited in what they saw and what they're able to tell us," homicide Det. Scott SPRATT said yesterday.
But investigators are hopeful surveillance cameras in the area might provide some clues, particularly because there was still plenty of daylight at the time of the drive-by shooting.
The footage is being enhanced and SPRATT hoped to release some images today.
ARCHIBALD- STERLING died from a gunshot wound to the chest, a post mortem found.
SPRATT said he doesn't know a lot about the victim because his mother is "grieving so hard that we haven't been able to get a lot of background about him."
ARCHIBALD- STERLING lived in a neighbourhood not far from the shooting, he said.
SPRATT believes his father lives in Brampton.
The victim was known to police, but not "in a major way," he added.
It is too soon to say whether the shooting relates to gang activity or for police to speculate on a possible motive.
SPRATT confirmed he had been at a Popeyes, a nearby fast food eatery, sometime before he was killed.
Police are looking for a dark blue minivan, possible a Chrysler, Dodge, or Plymouth, approximately two years old, with dark tinted windows.
