 Toronto Legion Jersey Retirement Ceremony 

 

Today, the Toronto Legion are proud to honor two franchise legends, one of an earlier era and one recent, by retiring and sending their jersey numbers to the rafters alongside the 12 other Legion greats that already hang there. For a franchise known for its stingy goaltenders, the two players being honored tonight were known for their offensive skill. With out further ado, Toronto announces the jersey retirements of…

 

#90 – Max Molholt  @Molholt S45-S52

 

Inducted into the VHL’s Hall of Fame in S53 immediately after his retirement, it is a tragedy that his legacy is only now being honored by the only team Max Molholt ever suited up for. It is only proper that Molholt’s jersey will now hang with his former teammates on Toronto’s Cup three-peat teams of S48-S50, Zach Parechkin @DollarAndADream , World B. Free @stevo, and Hans Wingate @CowboyinAmerica. Molholt led the Legion in scoring his first five seasons and led or tied for the team lead in goals or assists four times each. He is the franchise’s all-time leader in career games played, goals, assists, and points.

 

 

 

#36 – Kyle Peace  @Peace S81-S88

 

Kyle Peace aptly brought a calmness to the Toronto Legion organization and was the ultimate “Legionary” during his tenure. Seeing the franchise through good times and bad, he led the double-blue faithfully as the second-longest serving captain (six seasons) behind Zach Parechkin. He led the team in goals twice and points once and while he never got to hoist the Cup, he did end his career 5^th on the franchise’s all-time goals list.

 

Congratulations Max and Kyle! Your contributions to the Toronto Legion will never be forgotten and you will now be immortalized in the rafters with your fellow Legion legends!
