A few weeks ago, a Tim Horton donut shop opened near where I live.  I know it's
part of a chain--there's another in Fort Erie, right across from the Peace
Bridge.  What I'd like to know is:  What are the connections between the
donut chain and the late great hockey player of the same name, if any?  Is it
owned by his family?  If not, are they getting royalties for the right to use
his name?

For those that don't remember, Tim played for the Detroit Red Wings in the
middle to late '60's, before he started playing for the Buffalo Sabres in
1970.  (I don't remember exactly how and when he was acquired.)  He was
tragically killed in an auto crash (on the QEW?) in the early part of 1973.

                                   Someone who remembers No. 2,
