January 10, 1938, is the birth date of Senator Frank Mahovlich. And so, it is a great pleasure today to send out a birthday shoutout to a Canadian NHL legend/Hall of Famer who also graced the world of politics.The son of Croatian immigrants, Frank Mahovlich was born in Timmins, Ontario. Nicknamed the 'Big M' because he was among the larger NHL players of his day, he went on to a storied hockey-playing career, skating for the Leafs, Habs, Detroit and a couple of WHA teams as well. He beat Bobby Hull to take the Calder Trophy as rookie of the year in 1957, led the Leafs in scoring many years and has been named one of the top 100 NHL players of all time. He was named to an NHL All-Star Team nine times and was a member of six Stanley Cup-winning teams – four with Toronto and two with the Montreal Canadiens.
