Johnny Bower was also part of the Cleveland Barons of the AHL (American Hockey League) in the 1950s http://www.chroniclet.com/sports/2017/12/27/BC-HKN-Obit-Johnny-Bower-2nd-Ld-Writethru.html As that article mentionned:"Yet Bower originally had no desire to be in Toronto. He was playing happily with the minor league Cleveland Barons in his 30s when Toronto acquired him. He said he only showed up to avoid being suspended."
