[net.sport.hockey] Origin of Tim Horton Donuts

Tim Horton Donuts is a veritable Canadian institution - there's no better
Canadian meal than a Tim Horton blueberry turnover, if you ask me.

The chain was started by Tim Horton himself, and I seem to recall that
Harold Ballard lent him some money to get the whole thing going.

I was always a little miffed that the chain didn't shut down for a day
when Horton died.
