Walter "Turk" Broda (Ukrainian: Володимир Брода; May 15, 1914 - October 17, 1972) was a Canadian ice hockey goaltender, playing his entire career for the Toronto Maple Leafs of the National Hockey League (NHL). Broda was born in Brandon, Manitoba to a Ukrainian family; joining the Maple Leafs in 1936.

He is commonly referred to as Polish, but Publicity Director Stan Obodiac of the Maple Leafs, who knew Broda, has stated that Broda was in fact of Ukrainian origin.

Broda acquired the nickname of "Turk" during his school days in Brandon. His history teacher apparently told his class that an English king was called "Turkey Egg" because of his many freckles, and Broda immediately received the same name because of his numerous freckles. "Turkey Egg" soon became "Turk", and the name followed him.

Broda started his playing career with the Brandon Athletics and the Brandon Native Sons. After playing a few years with them he played for the Winnipeg Monarchs, Detroit Farm Crest and the Toronto St. Michael's Majors. In 1932-33, he won the Memorial Cup. In 1933-34, the Detroit Red Wings invited Turk Broda to their training camp. But with, Normie Smith and John Ross Roach already in Detroit, there was no way Broda could start in the NHL. Instead, he would start his professional career with the Detroit Olympics.

Carlos Ray "Chuck" Norris (born March 10, 1940) is an American martial artist and actor. After serving in the United States Air Force, he began his rise to fame as a martial artist and has since founded his own school, Chun Kuk Do. As a result of his "tough guy" image, an Internet phenomenon began in 2005 known as Chuck Norris facts, ascribing various implausible or even impossible feats to Norris.

Norris appeared in a number of action films, such as Way of the Dragon in which he starred alongside Bruce Lee, and was The Cannon Group's leading star in the 1980s. He next played the starring role in the television series Walker, Texas Ranger from 1993 to 2001.

Norris is a devout Christian and politically conservative. He has written several books on Christianity and donated to a number of Republican candidates and causes. In 2007 and 2008, he campaigned for former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, who was running for the Republican nomination for President in 2008. In the 2012 election he endorsed former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich. Norris also writes a column for the conservative website WorldNetDaily.
