Legendary NHL Hall of Fame goalie Johnny Bower, 87, was in Peterborough on Friday forthe 30th Docs on Ice hockey tournament banquet at the Memorial Centre in Peterborough.

Bower played with the Toronto Maple Leafs from 1958 to 1970.

Bower has supported the Docs On Ice event over the past 15 years.

In 1963 he and fellow goaltender Terry Sawchuk attended a Leafs training camp under general manager and coach Punch Imlach at the Memorial Centre.

The event, continuing over the weekend, has attracted 756 physicians from across Ontario and hopes to raise $150,000 for the local Youth Sports Concussion Program
