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, -- "Is there liver in reality?"
