Simple story assignment. Major factual error. Who's to blame?

To answer your original question: This might have been a big deal, except that it's hockey, and no one cares about it.

The story in and of itself isn't that interesting. It's about famous Canadians getting inducted into Canada's Walk of Fame.

Former Toronto Maples Leafs goalie Johnny Bower, the first hockey player to be named to the Walk of Fame,

Well, no Bower is not the first. As a matter of fact, there have been about 1/2 dozen including Richard, Howe, Orr, Gretzky et al.

So am I making a mountain out a molehill or isn't this a rather glaring error that someone should have caught?
