Toronto Maple Leafs: A professional National Hockey League team based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. 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). 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.
The Leafs are well known for their long and bitter rivalries with the Montreal Canadiens and the Ottawa Senators. The franchise’s 13 NHL championships are second only to the Canadiens, who have 24. Toronto has won eleven Stanley Cups Championships 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.
The mascot of the Toronto Maple Leafs is Carlton the Bear, an anthropomorphic polar bear whose name and number (#60) comes from the location of Maple Leaf Gardens, at 60 Carlton Street in that city, where they played throughout much of their history.
