This framed piece commemorates Bill Barilko, a notable player for the Toronto Maple Leafs. Barilko was a four-time Stanley Cup winner during his five seasons with the team, achieving victories in 1947, 1948, 1949, and 1951. His career was tragically cut short when he died in a floatplane crash in August 1951, shortly after his last championship win. The Leafs retired his number 5 jersey, and the team did not win another Stanley Cup until 1962, the same year his remains were discovered. His story is famously referenced in the Tragically Hip song "Fifty Mission Cap."

• Features a central image of Bill Barilko.
