Bill Barilko was returning from a fishing trip in 1951when the single engine plane he was a passenger on went down and disappeared. Despite an intensive search neither the plane nor the passengers were found. Then in 1962 a helicopter pilot spotted the wreckage approximately 100 Km north of Cochrane, Ontario. The cause of the crash was determined to be from pilot error and poor weather. Barilko scored the winning goal in Game 5 of the 1951 Stanley Cup finals to give Toronto the Cup. Toronto next won the Cup in 1962, the year he was found. Ironic.
