They are members of the Northeast Division of the Eastern Conference of the National Hockey League (NHL). The organization, one of the "Original Six" members of the NHL, is officially known as the Toronto Maple Leaf Hockey Club and is the leading subsidiary of Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment (MLSE). They have played at the Air Canada Centre (ACC) since 1999, after 68 years at Maple Leaf Gardens. Toronto won their last Stanley Cup in 1967. The Leafs are well known for their long and bitter rivalries with the Montreal Canadiens and the Ottawa Senators. The franchise's 13 championships are second only to the Canadiens, who have 24. Toronto has won eleven Stanley Cups as the Maple Leafs since the cup became solely competed for within the NHL in 1927, and two cups prior to this: one as the St. Patricks, and one as the Arenas. However, the Leafs have not won the Cup at all since 1967, the longest-active Cup drought in the NHL, and thus are the only Original Six team that has not won the Cup since the 1967 NHL expansion. At $470 million US (in 2009), the Leafs are the most valuable team in the NHL, followed by the New York Rangers and the Montreal Canadiens.[1] Contents [hide] y 1 Team history o 1.1 Early years o 1.2 Conn Smythe era 1.2.1 1930s: Opening of Maple Leaf Gardens and first Maple Leaf dynasty 1.2.2 1940s: A second decade of success 1.2.3 1950s: The Barilko Curse o 1.3 1960s: New owners and a new dynasty o 1.4 1970s and 1980s: The Ballard years o 1.5 Early 1990s: Resurgence o 1.6 A new home and a new millennium o 1.7 Post-lockout era 1.7.1 Brian Burke era y 2 Rivalries y 3 Fan base y 4 Season-by-season record y 5 Players o 5.1 Current roster o 5.2 Honoured members 5.2.1 Players 5.2.2 Builders o 5.3 Team captains o 5.4 Franchise scoring leaders y 6 Facilities y 7 Farm teams o 7.1 Historical o 7.2 Current y 8 See also y 9 References and notes y 10 External links Team history Main article: History of the Toronto Maple Leafs Early years Original Logo (1927) The National Hockey League was formed in 1917 in Montreal by teams formerly belonging to the National Hockey Association (NHA) that had a dispute with Eddie Livingstone, owner of the Toronto Blueshirts. The owners of the other four clubs ± the Montreal Canadiens, Montreal Wanderers, Quebec Bulldogs, and Ottawa Senators ± wanted to get rid of Livingstone, but discovered that the NHA constitution did not allow them to simply vote him out of the league. Instead, they opted to create a new league, the NHL, and did not invite Livingstone to join them. They also remained voting members of the NHA, and thus had enough votes to suspend the other league's operations, effectively leaving Livingstone's squad in a one-team league. However, the other clubs felt it would be unthinkable not to have a team from Toronto (Canada's second largest city at the time) in the new league. They also needed another team to balance the schedule after the Bulldogs suspended operations (and as it turned out, would not ice a team until 1920). Accordingly, the NHL granted a "temporary" Toronto franchise to the Arena Company, owners of the Arena Gardens. The Arena Company was allowed to lease the Blueshirts' players, but was given until the end of the season to resolve the dispute with Livingstone. This temporary franchise did not have an official name, but was informally called "the Blueshirts" or "the Torontos" by the fans and press. Under manager Charlie Querrie and coach Dick Carroll, the Toronto team won the Stanley Cup in the NHL's inaugural season. Although the roster was composed almost entirely of former Blueshirts, the Maple Leafs do not claim the Blueshirts' history as their own. For the next season, rather than return the Blueshirts' players to Livingstone as originally promised, the Arena Company formed its own team, the Toronto Arena Hockey Club, which was readily granted full-fledged membership in the NHL. Also that year, the Arena Company board decided that only NHL teams would be allowed to play at the Arena Gardens²a move which effectively killed the NHA.[2] Livingstone sued to get his players back. Mounting legal bills from the dispute forced the Arenas to sell most of their stars, resulting in a horrendous five-win season in 1918±19. When it was obvious that the Arenas would not be able to finish out the season, the NHL agreed to let the Arenas halt operations on February 20, 1919 and proceed directly to the playoffs. The Arenas' .278 winning percentage that season is still the worst in franchise history. However, since the 1919 Stanley Cup Finals ended without a winner due to the worldwide flu epidemic, the Arenas proclaimed themselves champions by default. The legal dispute forced the Arena Company into bankruptcy, and it was forced to put the Arenas up for sale. Querrie put together a group that mainly consisted of the people who had run the senior amateur St. Patricks team in the Ontario Hockey Association. The new owners renamed the team the Toronto St. Patricks (or St. Pats for short) and would operate it until 1927. This period saw the team's jersey colours change from blue to green, as well as a second Stanley Cup championship in 1922. During this time, the St. Patricks also allowed other teams to play in the Arena whenever their home rinks lacked proper ice in the warmer months. At the time, the Arena was the only facility east of Manitoba with artificial ice.[2] Part of the series on Evolution of the Toronto Maple Leafs Teams Toronto Pro HC (OPHL) (1908±1909) Toronto Blueshirts (NHA) (1912±1917) Torontos (NHL) (1917±1918) Toronto Arenas (NHL) (1918±19) Toronto St. Patricks (NHL) (1919±27) Toronto Maple Leafs (NHL) (1927±present) Ice hockey portal · v d e Conn Smythe era Querrie lost a lawsuit to Livingstone and decided to put the St. Pats up for sale. He gave serious consideration to a $200,000 bid from a Philadelphia group. However, Toronto Varsity Graduates coach Conn Smythe put together an ownership group of his own and made a $160,000 offer for the franchise. With the support of St. Pats shareholder J. P. Bickell, Smythe persuaded Querrie to reject the Philadelphia bid, arguing that civic pride was more important than money. After taking control on Valentine's Day 1927, Smythe immediately renamed the team the Maple Leafs (the Toronto Maple Leafs baseball team had won the International League championship a few months earlier and had been using that name for 30 years). The Maple Leafs say that the name was chosen in honour of the Maple Leaf Regiment from World War I. As the regiment is a proper noun, its plural is formed by adding a simple 's' creating Maple Leafs (not *Maple Leaves). Another story says that Smythe named the team after a team he had once scouted, called the East Toronto Maple Leafs, while Smythe's grandson states that Conn named the team after the Maple Leaf insignia he had worn during the First World War.[3] Initial reports were that the team's colours would be changed to red and white,[4] but the Leafs were wearing white sweaters with a green maple leaf for their first game on February 17, 1927.[5] The next season, the Leafs appeared for the first time in the blue and white sweaters they have worn ever since. The Maple Leafs say that blue represents the Canadian skies and white represents snow, but it also follows the tradition of blue being Toronto's principal sporting colour starting with the Toronto Argonauts in 1873 and the University of Toronto Varsity Blues in 1877 (and later the Toronto Blue Jays in 1977). 1930s: Opening of Maple Leaf Gardens and first Maple Leaf dynasty Toronto Maple Leafs opening night program at MLG, November 12, 1931 After four more lacklustre seasons (including three with Smythe as coach), Smythe and the Leafs debuted at their new arena, Maple Leaf Gardens, with a 2-1 loss to the Chicago Black Hawks on November 12, 1931. Led by the "Kid Line" (Busher Jackson, Joe Primeau and Charlie Conacher) and coach Dick Irvin, the Leafs would capture their third Stanley Cup during the first season in their stadium, vanquishing the Montreal Maroons in the first round, the Boston Bruins in the semifinals, and the New York Rangers in the Stanley Cup Finals.

  • Ang National Hockey League
    ANG NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE Ang National Hockey League o NHL ay itinatag sa Canada noong 1917. Ilang koponan ang sumali at nawala, ngunit anim na koponan ang nanatiling aktibo mula pa sa mga unang araw ng liga. Ang Boston Bruins, Chicago Blackhawks, Detroit Red Wings, Montreal Canadiens, New York Rangers at Toronto Maple Leafs ay binansagan na “The Original Six”. Sa ngayon, ang NHL ay binubuo ng 30 na koponan: pito sa Canada at 23 sa U.S. Ang Liga ay nahahati sa dalawang pagpupulong: Eastern at Western. Ang bawat pagpupulong ay may dalawang pangkat. Mayroong 16 na koponan sa Eastern Conference na kinabibilangan ng pangkat ng Atlantic at Metropolitan. May 14 na koponan naman sa pagpupulong ng Western, na kinabibilangan ng mga koponan sa pangkat ng Pacific at Central. Sa karaniwang panahon, ang bawat koponan ay may 82 na laro, at hinahati sa paglalaro sa sariling bayan at pangdadayuhan. Ang katayuan sa liga ay batay sa sistema ng punto, na kung saan, ang dalawang punto ay ipinagkakaloob para sa nanalo at ang isa, para sa overtime o shootout na pagkatalo. Labing-anim na koponan ang naglalaban para sa kampeonato – na tinatawag na playoffs: ang tatlong nangungunang koponan sa bawat apat na pangkat, at ang dalawa na may pinakamataas na puntos sa bawat pagpupulong. Ang kampeon sa playoff ay siyang pinagkakalooban ng Stanley Cup – ang pinakaantigong tropeo sa palakasang-pangpropesyonal sa North America. PAGLALARO Ang mga panimula sa Hockey ay simple – mag-skate ka, lumusot ka, humataw ka at gumawa ka ng puntos. Ang mga manlalaro ay lumiligid sa loob ng arena ng yelo sa pamamagitan ng skates – boots na may dobleng talim sa gilid ng talampakan nito – na nagpapa- hintulot ng matalim at mabilis na pag-ikot.

    Portail de l'éducation de Historica Canada Canada's Game - The Modern Era Overview This lesson plan is based on viewing the Footprints videos for Gordie Howe, Bobby Orr, Father David Bauer, Bobby Hull,Wayne Gretzky, and The Forum. Throughout hockey's history, though they are not presented in the Footprints, francophone players like Guy Lafleur, Mario Lemieux, Raymond Bourque, Jacques Lemaire, and Patrick Roy also made a significant contribution to the sport. Parents still watch their children skate around cold arenas before the sun is up and backyard rinks remain national landmarks. But hockey is no longer just Canada's game. Now played in cities better known for their golf courses than their ice rinks, hockey is an international game. Hockey superstars and hallowed ice rinks became national icons as the game matured and Canadians negotiated their role in the modern era. Aims To increase student awareness of the development of the game of hockey in Canada; to increase student recognition of the contributions made by hockey players as innovators and their contributions to the game; to examine their accomplishments in their historical context; to explore how hockey has evolved into the modern game; to understand the role of memory and commemoration in our understanding of the past and present; and to critically investigate myth-making as a way of understanding the game’s relationship to national identity. Background Frozen fans huddled in the open air and helmet-less players battled for the puck in a -28 degree Celsius wind chill. The festive celebration was the second-ever outdoor National Hockey League game, held on 22 November 2003.

Professor Cristina Mislán Professor Sandy Davidson Professor Amanda Hinnant Professor Becky Scott MASCULINITY AND THE NHL Acknowledgements I would like to begin by thanking my committee chair, Dr. Cristina Mislán, for her guidance and help throughout this project, and beyond. From the first class I took at Missouri, Mass Media Seminar, to the thesis itself, she encouraged me to see the world through different lenses and inspired a passion for cross-disciplined study. Her assistance was invaluable in completing this project. Next, I would like to thank my committee members: Dr. Sandy Davidson, Dr. Amanda Hinnant and Dr. Becky Scott. All three members provided insight and feedback into different portions of the project at its early stages and each one made the study stronger. Dr. Davidson’s tireless support and enthusiasm was infectious and her suggestion to explore the legal concerns the NHL might have about violence and head injuries led me to explore the commoditization of players.
