Stompin' Tom Connors

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Charles Thomas "Stompin' Tom" Connors, OC (February 9, 1936 – March 6, 2013) was a Canadian country and folk singer-songwriter. Focusing his career exclusively on his native Canada, Connors is credited with writing more than 300 songs and has released four dozen albums, with total sales of nearly 4 million copies.[1] Connors died at 77 in his home in Ballinafad, Ontario,[2][3][4][5] of renal failure.

His songs have become part of the Canadian cultural landscape. Three of his best-known songs, Sudbury Saturday Night, Bud the Spud and The Hockey Song, are played at various games throughout the National Hockey League;[6] the latter is played at every Toronto Maple Leafs home game.[7]
