	Conn Smythe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Smythe considered Ali to be a disreputable draft dodger for his refusal to serve with the United States Army in the Vietnam War.
		Smythe was heavily involved in such charities as the Ontario Society for Crippled Children and minor hockey development throughout the province.

	Mourning 'The Major' of the Maple Leafs - "On This Day" - CBC Archives
		For more than five decades Conn Smythe's name was synonymous with the kind of uncompromising, bare-knuckle hockey that he expected from his Toronto Maple Leafs.
		Regardless, Smythe is still fondly remembered for being a champion of the kind of down-and-dirty style of play that many hockey fans long for.
		Smythe objected because Ali had been banned from boxing in the U.S. after he refused to be drafted into the army.

	Hall of Fame - Builder - Conn Smythe, 1977
		It was only fitting that Conn Smythe, the man who built Maple Leaf Gardens and a hockey dynasty that won seven Stanley Cups and inspired a spirited group of fighting men in two World Wars, would become one of the leading owners and breeders of thoroughbreds in Canada.
		Smythe's formula was simple: "Breed the best, raise them properly, have the best help possible and let the horses tell you when they are ready to run." Smythe, primarily, bred his own stallions to his select band of mares - about 15 at any time - and the results were phenomenal.
		Born in Toronto in 1895, Smythe was a military man who served in both wars with distinction, a successful businessman, and a philanthropist.

		Ward earned the Conn Smythe Trophy as the most valuable player of the postseason after the Hurricanes beat the Edmonton Oilers 3-1 in Game 7 on Monday night for their first Stanley Cup title.
		He is the fourth rookie to capture the Conn Smythe, joining Dryden, Roy and Philadelphia goalie Ron Hextall in 1987.
		He rebounded from giving up the breakaway short-handed score to Pisani in overtime of Game 5, which denied the Hurricanes the chance to clinch the Cup, and a 4-0 loss in Game 6 in which he got little help from his defense to close out the series and complete his amazing postseason run.

	Picking Conn Smythe winner might be toughest Cup task - CBS SportsLine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		In the run-up to Thursday's potential Stanley Cup-deciding Game 5, there has been less debate about whether the Detroit Red Wings will win than about which member of the team should get the Conn Smythe Trophy as the playoff MVP.
		Since the award was first handed out in 1965, 36 of the 37 winners have come from Canada, with the lone exception coming in 1994 when American-born Brian Leetch of the Rangers captured the honor.
		The irony is that the best player of the postseason, Colorado's Peter Forsberg, has virtually no chance of taking home the Conn Smythe Trophy since his team was eliminated in the Western Conference finals.
