In the song 'Fifty Mission Cap' by Canadian band The Tragically Hip, Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman Bill Barilko is immortalized. In a grueling 5-game series in which every game went into overtime, Barilko, a stay-at-home defenseman, became an unlikely hero when he scored the Stanley Cup winning overtime goal. As the song says, he went missing in the off-season while on a fishing trip -- his float plane crashed in the woods of Ontario. The Maple Leafs, winners of Cups in 1947, 1948, 1949 and that year in 1951, didn't win the Stanley Cup again until 1962.

Barilko's body was discovered that year
