*Tonight's honouree started his junior career as a list player for the Giants.

After beginning his career in Nashville, Cody Franson now mans the blueline for the Toronto Maple Leafs, and is sure to become a household name for Canadian hockey fans. He was part of both our 2006 WHL Championship and 2007 Memorial Cup Championship teams, and tonight he'll take his place in our 'Ring of Honour' alongside last season's inductees in a special pre-game ceremony. Plus, we'll give away 500 Cody Franson bobbleheads - more details on that give-away coming soon.
