Maple Leafs Round Table: Who Else Belongs on Legends Row?

January 22nd, 2018 It took a long time, but now if you visit the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, you’ll see a lineup of statues enshrining some of the most legendary players to play for the Maple Leafs.

50 Years Ago in Hockey: Wings Fit to be Tied by Howe's Miss

November 4th, 2016 Gordie Howe missed an empty net with 28 seconds to play so his Detroit Red Wings had to settle for a 2-2 tie with the Toronto Maple Leafs last night. In the only other National Hockey League game Harry Howell, one of the best defensive defencemen of this generation, was the scoring hero for the New York Rangers as they routed the...

December 4th, 2015 Maple Leaf Gardens is adding balconies which will eventually increase the building’s seating capacity to over 16,000 seats. Immediate plans call for 1,028 seats to be added before next season. Permits were issued last week to allow construction of hanging galleries at the north and south ends.

Maple Leafs By The Numbers: No. 6 - Ron Ellis

Maple Leafs By The Numbers: No. 6 - Ron Ellis

November 13th, 2015 After a bit of a delay, the Maple Leafs by the Numbers Series returns. This time, we look at the second and final number the Toronto Maple Leafs have retired. However, this time it’s not the player the number was retired for that is the best. Irvine Bailey, better known as “Ace”, was the player the number was retired for. In...
50 Years Ago in Hockey: Leafs Come Back to Tie Habs

50 Years Ago in Hockey: Leafs Come Back to Tie Habs

November 11th, 2015 It was a busy Wednesday evening in the National Hockey League, as all six clubs saw action. Two of the three games ended in ties, with Toronto and Montreal battling to a 3-3 stalemate, while the Bruins and Rangers sawed one off at 2-2. In the only game to reach a decision, the Chicago Black Hawks downed the Detroit Red Wings 5-2. Leafs...

50 Years Ago in Hockey: Habs, Leafs Win Close Ones

October 28th, 2015 Close games were the order of the day yesterday in the National Hockey League. Both scheduled games resulted in one-goal victories. The Montreal Canadiens defeated the New York Rangers 4-3 for the second game in a row, this time at the Forum in Montreal. The Toronto Maple Leafs finally scored a goal, actually two of them. That was enough...

50 Years Ago in Hockey: Hull Relents, Rejoins Hawks

September 30th, 2015 Superstar Bobby Hull ended his brief walkout from the Chicago Black Hawks late yesterday.

Then and Now: The Maple Leafs All-Time Right Wingers

Then and Now: The Maple Leafs All-Time Right Wingers

September 16th, 2015 Looking back, the Toronto Maple Leafs are quite the storied franchise. Over the years, players have come and gone. Some have had lasting impact on the team while others have simply passed through Toronto on their NHL journey. But when you break down the Leafs all-time best, it’s becomes evident just how deep the team is...
50 Years Ago in Hockey - Crozier wins Calder

50 Years Ago in Hockey - Crozier wins Calder

May 11th, 2015 When the Detroit Red Wings allowed Terry Sawchuk to be drafted last summer by the Toronto Maple Leafs, hockey people everywhere scoffed at Sid Abel's idea that 22-year-old Roger Crozier would be an adequate replacement.  Those predictions of doom and gloom in Detroit proved to be nothing but poppycock and that was confirmed yesterday...
50 Years Ago in Hockey - Leafs, Hawks Even Series

50 Years Ago in Hockey - Leafs, Hawks Even Series

April 9th, 2015 Toronto Maple Leaf goalkeeper Johnny Bower was lucky he wasn't arrested after last night's game at Maple Leaf Gardens.  Bower committed numerous acts of grand larceny upon the Montreal Canadiens, enabling his Leafs to grab a 4-2 win to even their semi-final series at 2-2. Bower was nothing short of spectacular in stopping 24 of 26...
50 Years Ago in Hockey - Bruins Blank Leafs, Ellis Hurt

50 Years Ago in Hockey - Bruins Blank Leafs, Ellis Hurt

January 2nd, 2015 The lowly Boston Bruins, cellar-dwellers in the National Hockey League, played very poor New Year's hosts last night as they hung a 3-0 beating on the Toronto Maple Leafs.  In the other NHL game, the high-flying Chicago Black Hawks edged the New York Rangers 2-1. No zip If the first game of 1965 is any indicator, and the Leafs had...

November 1st, 2014 Toronto Maple Leafs rookie right winger Ron Ellis took a large step in proving he belongs at the NHL level last night, scoring two goals and adding an assist as he led his team to a resounding 5-1 win over the Chicago Black Hawks.  The line of Andy Bathgate between Ellis and Frank Mahovlich was dominant throughout.  Bathgate scored...

Book Review: The Goal of My Life: A Memoir

December 30th, 2012 Paul Henderson is best known as a former NHL player and hero of the 1972 Summit Series for Canada. The majority of people who have any idea about the name 'Paul Henderson' will make that connection. And, most recently, it's become known that he now is dealing with cancer.
