The Toronto Maple Leafs unveiled their most recent selections for the "Legends Row" statues constructed on a bench outside of Air Canada Centre.

At the team's Fan Fest on Friday, they announced Darryl Sittler as the second player to sit alongside Ted "Teeder" Kennedy.

Sittler was drafted by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the first round, 8th overall in 1970 and played 12 of his 16 NHL seasons with the Maple Leafs before being traded to the Philadelphia Flyers in 1982.

In 1989 he was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame along with goaltender Vladislav Tretiak and forward Herbie Lewis. He finished his career with 1,121 points in 1,096 games.

The Maple Leafs also announced the third member of "Legends Row": Toronto goaltending legend Johnny Bower.

The 5-foot-11 goalie started his career with the New York Rangers before he was claimed by Toronto during an Inter-League (AHL) draft in June of 1958. He went on to appear in four All-Star games, win two Vezina Trophies and four Stanley Cups.

In 552 NHL games, Bower held a record of 250-195-90. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1976.
