DID YOU KNOW?
- While still active in senior hockey, Gerry was working with the Toronto Maple Leafs as a scout, and
he continued in this role into his retirement. In this capacity, McNamara recommended that the Leafs
sign defenseman Borje Salming and forward Inge Hammarstrom after seeing them at the 1972
and 1973 World Championships.
- In 1981-82, Gerry co-held (with Punch Imlach) the position of general manager with the Maple Leafs,
before assuming the role himself for the next six seasons (through 1987-88). Unfortunately, his battles
with owner Harold Ballard eventually caused his departure from the club, and he went into retirement.
