With over 100 years of history, the Toronto Maple Leafs have accumulated quite the fanbase along the way. The only thing that compares is the volume of voices that cheer against them.
To effectively reference Toronto Maple Leafs history, one must start at the NHL’s inaugural season in 1917 when the Toronto Arenas were part of a select group of only four teams that year.
As of 1919-20, Toronto changed its name to the St. Patricks. Then, for the 1926-27 season, they became the Toronto Maple Leafs that we all know and love today.
