The Mystery of Bill Barilko

Every Canadian knows the song about him, and the myth surrounding him, but who was Bill Barilko? Where did the man who scored the winning goal for Toronto in the Stanley Cup Final grow up, how did he die and how did they search for him when he went missing? Today, I dive into the history behind the man who became a legend thanks to a Tragically Hip song.
