CLAIRE ALEXANDER

Following his retirement, the Leafs hired him to coach their AHL affiliate in St. Catharine's in 1984. In 1985, his preference for a private life to raise his family resulted in Claire leaving the organization.

Alexander finished his career with 18 goals and 64 points in 155 career NHL games, along with just 36 penalty minutes. He also recorded 8 goals and 31 points in 54 WHA games.
He played on Toronto Metro Old-timers, world's champions for 1983.

In August 2008, he cheered on his daughter Buffy, representing Canada in rowing for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. Beijing will be the third Olympics for Buffy Williams, who won a bronze medal with the women's eight in Sydney in 2000 and placed fourth in the women's pair in Athens in 2004 with partner Darcy Marquardt.

Claire was inducted into the Collingwood Sports Hall of Fame in 1984.
