12 The IFP · Halton Hills, Thursday, February 16, 2012 SPORTS & LEISURE Henderson tribute tour makes its final stop here Canada's hockey hero from the 1972 Summit Series, Paul Henderson, will be in Georgetown this Saturday for the final stop on his traveling tribute tour. The 40th anniversary of Henderson's legendary goal against the Soviet Union in Russia that clinched the series for Canada will be celebrated as a large truck trailer makes the last of 42 stops across the country, providing visitors with a look back at that moment. Henderson will bring what's considered the most significant piece of hockey memorabilia ever sold-- the red and white jersey he wore when scoring the goal-- which was one of the greatest moments in Canadian sports history. He will be at the Mold-Masters SportsPlex from 1-3 p.m. that day and will drop the puck at a Georgetown Minor Hockey Association game. Admission is free. Visitors are welcome to take photos with Henderson but he does not sign autographs due to a weakened immune system in his battle with leukemia.
