Bon Jovi gets a banner in the ACC before Maple Leafs
The last time a Stanley Cup champion banner was raised to the rafters in the Air Canada Center in Toronto it was from 1967. It sits amongst playoff banners from past Leafs and Raptors seasons. It will soon be joined by a banner honoring Bon Jovi.
MLSE plans to immortalize rock band Jon Bon Jovi by raising a banner inside the ACC on Nov. 2 http://t.co/wZUF5R2gRs

The Banner will be raised on November 2nd, and will most likely take its spot beside Maple Leafs greats and Hockey Hall of Famers Mats Sundin and Doug Gilmour.
Bon Jovi has made 17 appearances at the ACC.
Everyone likes new hardware, but this is the hardware Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment believes should fill the void where success was absent. Henceforth to collect dust amongst hockey greatness, Bon Jovi banner.
