Does anyone who know who was known for shouting "C'mon Teeder!"
John Anderson, John Arnott, Lou Broda, or Don Mackenzie?
Also,
Does anyone know who played right wing when Frank Mahovlich scored his second career hat-trick.
Gary Aldcorn, George Armstrong, Barry Cullen, or Ron Stewart?
Thank you!
CONN SMYTHE GAVE HIM NICKNAME TEEDER.
The story is that he had a younger sibling who couldn't pronounce Theodore, and Teeder just stuck on him. I'm pretty sure that was in the "Legends of Hockey" DVD series.
YOU ARE RIGHT,I READ AN ARTICLE HOW CONN SMYTHE GAVE IT TO HIM,BUT NOW I FOUND AN ARTICLE FROM 11-15-2002 WITH TEEDER AND IT SAYS WHEN HE WAS A BOY THE PLAYERS COULD NOT PRONOUNCE THEODORE AND A REPORTER HEARD THEM SAY TEEDER SO THATS HOW IT APPEARED IN NEWSPAPER,AND THE NAME STUCK.
He was Smythe's favourite, so perhaps he just kept calling him Teeder and that helped it stick? Just a guess, but I'm sure it has childhood roots.
