Toe Blake's
Joseph Hector "Toe" Blake (1912-1995) was a Montreal Canadiens player and coach, who won ten Stanley Cups with the team in those roles. A member of the famed Punch line, an on-ice collision in 1948 forced his retirement as a player, at which point he would begin coaching, being named head coach of the Canadiens in 1955.

Before that, in 1952, he opened Toe Blake's Tavern, 1618 Ste-Catherine Street West at Guy Street in Montreal, just a few blocks from the Montreal Forum. The tavern was "men's only". The practice was banned in 1979, but existing businesses were grandfathered in.

The tavern closed in December 1983.

Bobby Orr Pizza
Some in the hockey world dismissed the use of Orr's name as "cheap" commercialism. Orr's agent Allan Eagleson countered "Calling it cheap is a matter of opinion. We believe they produce a top quality product and it brings Bobby a substantial amount of money."

As of 1973, there were seven locations of the chain. At some point, the chain grew to eight locations.

Eagleston's licensing of Orr's image was unheard of at the time, in terms of scale. Orr did personal appearances for both a Buick dealership and Labatt's, and endorsements of Ostrander's Jewellers in Toronto, Yardley's Black Label men's shaving products, Bic pens, Crestliner boats, Munro games, and Nabisco.<ref name="2006-Brunt" /

A location on Hurontario Street in Caledon Village was replaced by a Tim Hortons in 2014.
