The brothers were born in Thunder Bay to Dutch-Canadian sod farmers Henry and Linda Staal.

Combined the Thunder Bay natives have played over 3000 NHL games, scored 1700 points, and won two Stanley Cups.

You can check where the Staal brothers grew up – on 247 Candy Mountain Drive.

Thunder Bay was the first city in the world to enact daylight saving time, on 1 July 1908.

While the Canadian government officially introduced Daylight Savings Time in 1918, the towns of Port Arthur and Fort William (now Thunder Bay) had implemented seasonal time-shifting a decade earlier.
