The McQuiz: Fast Food Breakfast Cuisine

Answer: McDonald's

Answer: A long career in the National Hockey League

Tim Horton only lived 44 years, but in that time he not only founded one of the largest coffee chains in the world, but was also an excellent player in the National Hockey League.

Horton broke into the league in the 1949 season, playing a single game. He was in the minors for the entire 1950 season and played just four games in 1951.

His career would boom after those few short seasons early in his early days. He stayed with the Toronto Maple Leafs until he was traded during the 1969-70 season.

Then he played a year and a half with the New York Rangers, a year with the Pittsburgh Penguins and two seasons with the Buffalo Sabres prior to his death in 1974 when he was in a car accident.

In all he played in 1446 games, scoring just 115 goals. He averaged more than a penalty minute a game during his career.

During his career he won four Stanley Cup championships and was named to three all-star games. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1977.

The restaurants were founded in 1964 during the off-season and had grown to more than 70 locations before his death.

The sandwich in question is only 160 calories according to the Subway website.
