BODNAR,
Gus
Peacefully, on Friday, July 1, 2005, at Lakeridge Health, Oshawa,
with his family at his side, Gus
BODNAR, beloved husband of Etta,
and loving father of Bonnie and husband Paul, Greg and wife Jayne,
Carolyn and husband Peter, Andrea and husband John, and Cheryl
and husband Brian.
Affectionately known at "Grandpa Gus" to Melissa, Meaghan, Jay,
Calli, Teagan, Ryan, Eric, Alexandra and Lara. Predeceased by
his parents Peter and Sophie
BODNARCHUK, his brothers Ed, Oryst,
Nestor and sister Stella.
Born in Fort William, Ontario in 1923. With an National Hockey
League career that lasted nearly 700 games playing for Toronto,
Chicago and Boston and a winning coaching career that followed,
Gus distinguished himself as an ambassador of hockey. He played
for the Toronto Maple Leafs from 1943 to 1948, winning the Calder
Trophy as Rookie of the Year. He was also a proud member of the
1945 and 1947 Stanley Cup winning Toronto Maple Leafs. To this
day, he has National Hockey League records that remain unchallenged
since he retired from playing professional hockey in 1955. For
the next twenty years, Gus coached at the Junior C, Junior B
and Junior A levels and in the Western Professional League. He
coached the Memorial Cup Champion Toronto Marlboros in 1967-68,
moving to coach and manager of the Oshawa Generals until 1976.
In 1971-72, he was awarded the Matt Leyden Trophy as Coach of
the Year. He also coached the Bronze Medal winning Canada Junior
team in 1977-78. In 1983 he was inducted to the North Western
Sports Hall of Fame and in 1995, the Oshawa Sports Hall of Fame.
Gus' passion off the ice was golf. A scratch golfer, he played
in many Canadian celebrity tournaments benefiting a wide range
of charities. In winter he enjoyed golfing with his wife and
their many Friends at their winter home in Lake Placid, Florida.
Playing into his 80's, with a score close to his age, Gus often
out shot his sons-in-law with his unconventional but effective
slap-shot type drive.
Throughout his 82 years, Gus, in a variety of roles, touched
thousands of people's lives and has left us all with a fine example
of a life well lived. He will be very much missed as a loving
husband, father and grandpa - and as a teammate and coach.
In accordance with Gus' wishes a private family gathering was
held. Best wishes can be sent to the family via the Gus Bodnar
website at www.gusbodnar.com. In lieu of flowers, contributions
may be made to your local minor hockey team of choice.

Gus BODNAR,
Athlete,
Coach And Salesman 1923-2005
In 1943, the handsome and 'dimpled darling' of the Maple Leafs
was the quickest, slickest thing on skates when he set an National
Hockey League record for the fastest goal scored by a rookie
By Tom HAWTHORN,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Saturday, July
9, 2005, Page S9
Vancouver -- On October 30, 1943, Ontario Premier George
DREW
stepped to centre ice at Maple Leaf Gardens to drop the puck
for a ceremonial face-off. The Toronto Maple Leafs had several
rookies in the lineup to start the season, as wartime enlistments
thinned the ranks. Among those skating into the breach was a
handsome 20-year-old centre-man named Gus
BODNAR.
Fifteen seconds from the start of the game, Mr.
BODNAR pounced
on a loose puck in front of the New York Rangers net. He slipped
the disk into the net past goalie Ken McAuley. Just like that,
the young forward had etched his name in the National Hockey
League record book. Nearly 62 years later, the goal still stands
as the quickest scored by a player making his debut.
Mr. BODNAR added another goal and an assist in leading the Leafs
to a 5-2 win in the season opener, a performance that made him
an instant fan favourite in Toronto.
Mr. BODNAR was a wiry centre with a reputation as a savvy playmaker.
As a 5-foot-11, 150-pound rookie, he seemed a tad fragile to
survive professional hockey's take-no-prisoners combat. Indeed,
he would suffer a lengthy list of wounds and ailments in his
career. He exited many games on his back courtesy of stretcher
bearers and more than once did so while unconscious. Yet, he
always seemed to be back on the ice within a week or two.
Sportswriters praised the skills of the "dynamic midget" who
was described as a "resourceful young puckster" and "one of the
slickest skaters ever."
The "dimpled darling" of "cherubic countenance" received poetry
and mash notes from female admirers in those years when so many
men were serving overseas. Mr.
BODNAR, who had been rejected
for army service for heart palpitations, was said to inflict
that condition on his bobby-soxer fans. One piece of doggerel
that made the newspapers read: "We want Gussy, good or bad/ He's
the cutest number you've ever had."
What his erstwhile suitors did not know was that he was carrying
a torch for a high-school sweetheart back home in Fort William
(now Thunder Bay).
August BODNARCHUK starred with the junior team in his Ontario
hometown, his obvious skills catching the attention of Leafs
scout Squib
WALKER. In his final season of junior hockey, the
centre scored 10 goals and 29 assists in just nine games with
the Fort William Hurricane-Rangers in 1942-43.
The brash youngster arrived at his first Leafs training camp
convinced he would soon be an National Hockey League star.
"I thought I was pretty big stuff," he later told Frank
ORR of
the Toronto Star. "I had my hair long and all slickered down
with goo. I figured I was about the hottest rookie ever to hit
the pros, even though I weighed only 145 pounds."
The rookie got a quick and unforgettable lesson in the realities
of the National Hockey League when veteran, 205-pound defenceman
Bucko McDonald hit him with a stiff bodycheck during a scrimmage.
"I crashed to the ice and figured every bone in my body was broken.
The only reason my hair was still attached to my head was because
of all the goo I had on it."
He learned to skate with his head up, alert to incoming threats.
The three-point debut was a harbinger of a stellar rookie campaign
spent on the Leafs first line between veterans Bob Davidson and
Lorne
Carr.
Mr.
BODNAR's talents earned him the Calder Trophy
as the National Hockey League's outstanding rookie. Montreal
Canadiens goalie Bill Durnan was runner-up, while Leafs rookies
Elwin Morris and Teeder Kennedy tied for third. The trophy was
announced on the final day of the season. Mr.
BODNAR then scored
two goals and three assists in a 10-2 shelling of the Boston
Bruins.
Mr. BODNAR ended his first season with 20 goals and 42 assists
to set a new league mark for scoring by a rookie. The record
would stand for a quarter century until beaten by Danny Grant
of the Minnesota North Stars in 1968-69. Mr.
BODNAR's 62-point
season was the Leafs club standard for rookies until bettered
by Peter Ihnacak in 1982-83.
While Mr. BODNAR scored just eight goals in his sophomore season,
his three playoff goals were all game winners. The Leafs outlasted
the Detroit Red Wings in seven games to claim the Stanley Cup
in 1945. Mr.
BODNAR would also get his name on the Cup with the
Leafs in 1947.
In his years with the Leafs, he centred Mr. Carr and Sweeney
Schriner to form the Bacon Line, so called because the trio "brought
home the bacon." He later combined with Bud Poile and Gaye Stewart
to form the Flying Forts. All three players hailed from Fort
William and all were part of a blockbuster, seven-player deal
with the Chicago Black Hawks in 1947.
The seasons in Chicago were highlighted by a magnificent feat
coming in the third period of the final game of the 1951-52 season.
Chicago's Bill Mosienko scored three goals in 21 seconds against
the Rangers on March 23, 1952. Mr.
BODNAR assisted on all three.
The record for the three fastest goals -- coming at 6: 09, 6:20
and 6: 30 -- still stands, as does the record for three fastest
assists.
"I never left centre ice," Mr.
BODNAR once told Paul Patton of
the Globe. "I just won the face-offs and [Mosienko] did the rest."
Mr. BODNAR was later traded to Boston, where he ended his National
Hockey League career after the 1954-55 season. He had scored
142 goals with 254 assists in 667 games. Along the way, he had
also gone and married that hometown sweetheart, Etta
MacDONALD.
They were wed in Toronto in 1948 at a ceremony which included
such Leaf greats as Teeder Kennedy, Syl Apps, Turk Broda, Don
and Nick Metz, and Wally Stanowski, who was best man.
The player's popularity was such that a newspaper photographer
was dispatched to Wellesley Hospital in Toronto to capture Mr.
BODNAR and his bride posing with their first-born child, a daughter
named Bonny Lynn, in 1949. He had rushed to the hospital on a
Saturday night after playing the Leafs. He then caught a train
for Chicago.
A house painter in the off season during his early hockey career,
Mr. BODNAR had a long career as a salesman for a steel company.
He also coached the Toronto Marlboros from 1965 to 1970, winning
the Memorial Cup in Centennial Year with a roster including future
National Hockey League defencemen Mike Pelyk, Brian Glennie and
an 18-year-old Brad Park, who would become a member of the Hockey
Hall of Fame.
Mr. BODNAR's patience and willingness to adapt to his young players'
needs made him an ideal junior coach. He was not a screamer,
unlike so many of his peers.
He left the Marlies just before the opening of training camp
in 1970, when offered the general manager and coaching posts
for the Salt Lake City (Utah) Golden Eagles of the Western Hockey
League. His first job as a pro coach ended after a season, as
the Buffalo Sabres farm team finished with a woeful record of
18 wins, 49 losses, 5 ties.
Mr. BODNAR headed the Oshawa Generals when named Ontario Hockey
League coach of the year in 1972.
He also was one of three coaches to handle Canada's junior team
in 1977-78, which won a disappointing bronze medal at the World
Cup. The roster included Mike Gartner, Rick Vaive and a 16-year-old
Wayne Gretzky.
In recent years, Mr.
BODNAR often took part in charity golf tournaments.
He has been inducted into sports halls of fame at Oshawa and
Northwestern Ontario at Thunder Bay.
Gus BODNAR was born on April 24, 1923, at Fort William (now Thunder
Bay), Ontario He died on Canada Day in Oshawa, Ontario He was
82. He is survived by his wife, Etta. He also leaves a son and
four daughters.
