Please click on the photo of Hector "Toe" Blake above (sadly no relation to me) to
learn more about the Montreal Canadiens Hall of Fame player & coach.

Trivia - Does anybody know how Hector got the nickname "Toe"?

Answer - Toe's niece Stephanie wrote to me and explained that her Uncle Hector's
younger sister Margaret could not say Hector as a young child, and
when she tried it came out as Hec"toe" instead of Hec"tor"!

Thanks to Margaret, one of the most famous nicknames in all of hockey was born!

I'm honored to share the nickname "Toe" with one of hockeys all time greats!
