The NHL was formed in 1917 for one reason -to kick out Eddie Livingstone, owner of the Toronto Blueshirts franchise of the forerunner National Hockey Association. Livingstone was accused of creating unfair advantages for himself and his team. However, the other three charter NHL teams--the Montreal Canadiens, Ottawa Senators and Montreal Wanderers--believed it would be unthinkable not to have a team in Toronto. They decided to grant Toronto a new team, the Arenas (run by the Arena Gardens). However, Livingstone would still get to lease his players to the team. The Arenas won the Stanley Cup in the NHL's inaugural season.
The team would be renamed the St. Patricks in the midst of a losing stretch in 1919, but would once again reach the Cup in 1922, with Babe Dye (who had an overtime winner in game two and four goals in the deciding fifth game) being the team's hero. They would narrowly miss the playoffs in 1923, despite Dye's 26 goals in only 22 games.

In 1926, Conn Smythe, one of the team's best-known icons, purchased the St. Pats and renamed them the Maple Leafs. He kept the St. Pats' green uniforms for one year as a nod to the old team's fans. However, he next season, the Leafs appeared for the first time in the blue (for the Canadian skies) and white (for snow) colours they have worn ever since. After four more lackluster seasons, Smythe and the Leafs debuted their new arena, Maple Leaf Gardens, in November 1931, and their Kid Line (Busher Jackson, Charlie Conacher, and Joe Primeau), which would propel them to Toronto's third Cup victory during the first season in their new digs. They would go the distance in the semi-finals against the Boston Bruins in 1932, winning in the sixth overtime of the final game, but would be overwhelmed in the Stanley Cup finals by the New York Rangers.

Maple Leafs logo from 1939-1966 (now used as alternate logo)The Leafs' star forward, Ace Bailey, was nearly killed in 1933 when Boston Bruins' defenceman Eddie Shore checked him from behind into the boards. Defenceman Red Horner was able to knock Shore out with a punch, but it was too late and Bailey's career was over. Undeterred, the Leafs would reach the finals five more times in the next seven years, but would not win, bowing out to the now-defunct Montreal Maroons, the Detroit Red Wings in 1936, the Chicago Blackhawks in 1938, the Boston Bruins in 1939, and the New York Rangers in 1940.
They looked sure to suffer a similar fate in 1942, down three games to none in a best-of-seven final in 1942 against the Detroit Red Wings. Fourth-line forward Don Metz would galvanize the team, coming from nowhere to score a hat trick in game 5 and the game-winning goal in Game 6, with the Leafs winning both times. Goalie Turk Broda would shut out the Wings in game 6, and Sweeney Schriner would score two goals in the third period to win the seventh game 3-1. It was the first time a major pro sports team came back from behind 3-0 to win a best-of-seven championship series.

Toronto was unable to match up with their Cup-winning teams of the late 40's and early 50's for a long time, and stronger teams like the Detroit Red Wings and Montreal Canadiens won the cup year-after-year. They did not win another Stanley Cup until 1962, ironically the same year that Barilko's remains were discovered.
The Leafs were able to reel off three straight Stanley Cup victories from 1962 to 1964, with the help of Hall of Famers Frank Mahovlich, Red Kelly, Johnny Bower, Dave Keon, Andy Bathgate and Tim Horton.

Maple Leafs NHL Hockey Playoffs Tickets
The 1980s were dominated by longtime owner Harold Ballard. Ballard was part of a partnership that bought the team from Conn Smythe in 1961 (along with Conn's son Stafford and newspaper baron John Bassett), and won a battle for control of the team in 1971. One of the most detested owners in NHL history, he traded away many of the team's most popular players (including Sittler, McDonald, and Keon). Many players were reluctant to come to Toronto because of Ballard's reputation. Ballard came to the realization that the Maple Leafs would sell all arena seats regardless the calibre of talent, so there was no value in paying any higher payroll than necessary to continue to be profitable. The result was a team that was barely competitive from 1980 to 1992, a team that, in spite of its low standings never acquired high calibre draft picks, nor retained quality talent scouts since Ballard had no intention of dealing with stars who would inevitably demand a high salary. In that stretch the Leafs failed to post a winning record, missing the playoffs five times and only finishing above fourth in their division once. One of the few bright spots during this period was the popular Wendel Clark. Even then, Leafs home games were almost always sellouts, and scalping was virtually the only way to get in.

Toronto Maple Leafs Stanley Cup Tickets
With Montreal facing the New York Islanders in the Wales Conference finals, Canadians were once again dreaming of a Montreal-Toronto clash for the Cup as the Leafs faced the Los Angeles Kings in the Campbell Conference Final. The Leafs were up 3-2 in the series, but lost game 6 in a game that will go down in infamy for Leafs fans: many believe that a missed high sticking call on Gilmour cost them the game. Wayne Gretzky's hat trick in game 7 put a damper on that though, as the Kings moved on to the finals.
Those hoping for an all-Canadian Stanley Cup final in 1993 had to make do with an all-Canadian Western Conference final (in the newly renamed Campbell Conference) in 1994. The Leafs, however, were no match for the Vancouver Canucks, losing in five games.

Toronto Maple Leafs Hockey Playoffs Tickets
Curtis Joseph left to go to the Red Wings in the 2002 off-season; the team immediately found a replacement in veteran Ed Belfour, who had come over from the Dallas Stars. Belfour could not help their playoff woes in the 2003 playoffs, however, as they lost to the Philadelphia Flyers in seven games in the first round. The 2003-04 season started in an uncommon way for the team, as they held their training camp in Sweden, and playing in the NHL Challenge against teams from Sweden and Finland. That year, the Leafs posted a franchise record number of points and finished fourth in the Eastern Conference.
In spite of Toronto being the self-proclaimed "mecca of hockey", the Toronto Maple Leafs are the only Original Six franchise to have not reached the Stanley Cup Finals since the 1967 NHL Expansion. The Chicago Blackhawks, the only other Original Six team not to win a Stanley Cup since 1967, have been to the Finals three times since then. Toronto's great rival, the Montreal Canadiens, have won eleven Cups since the Leafs' last win.

Toronto Maple Leafs tickets
The Leafs are an immensely popular team, with one of the largest fan bases in the NHL. In November 2002, however, the Maple Leafs were named by Sports Illustrated hockey writer Michael Farber as the Most Hated Team in Hockey. Fans of other Canadian NHL teams complain that the team receives excessive coverage on television and in the print media, and that Hockey Night in Canada prefers to televise Leafs games against even weak opponents rather than games involving the other Canadian clubs, which they see as more meaningful in terms of playoff implications. Games are usually quite heated whenever the Leafs play in other Canadian NHL cities, not the least because some of those other Canadian NHL cities have quite sizable contingents of Leafs fans of their own due to the fact that the Leafs were the only English Canadian team from 1938 until the Vancouver Canucks joined the league in 1970.
