The Toronto Maple Leafs hockey club is one of the most talked about teams within the National Hockey League. The Maple Leaf Hockey club dates back to 1917 when they operated under a different name. During the 1950’s and 1960’s they were the most successful hockey team in the NHL. Despite having years where the team didn’t fare well, games were almost always sold out. Until 1999, the Maple Leafs played at Maple Leaf Gardens, a venerable old building that hosted everything from music concerts to track meets.
Today the Maple Leafs play a 41 game home schedule at the Air Canada Center located on Bay Street in Downtown Toronto close to Toronto Harbourfront, CN Tower, and The Rogers Centre (Skydome). Air Canada has a seating capacity of 18,800 for hockey games and 19,800 for basketball games and about 20,000 for concerts. The Toronto Raptors NBA team also has the Air Canada Center as its home.
This year's Leafs team roster is highlighted their star players: Matts Sundin, Thomas Kaberle, Vessa Toskala, Hal Gill, Nik Antropov and Jason Blake. The rest of the starting player lineup for the leafs includes Darcy Tucker, Alex Steen, Alexei Ponikarovsky, Wade Belak, Matt Stajan, Chad Kilger, Boyd Devereaux, Mark Bell, Batest Battaglia, Kyle Wellwood, Pavel Kubina, Ian White, and Andrew Raycroft.
