The Toronto Maple Leafs are my favourite team in the NHL, they are not so good but I really like them any ways because I grew up watching them.
You can check the schedule for up coming games; here is the link: http://mapleleafs.nhl.com/club/schedule.htm
The leafs are in the Atlantic division in the eastern conference there are four
divisions and two conferences. One of the players I like is Phil Kessel . I like him because he is a good team player and his eye is all ways on the puck looking for goals. One of the goalies I like is Bernier, he stops all the pucks and stays sharp in the net. One of my favourite old players is Johnny Bower he was a goalie for the leafs starting in 1960. He was there to help win the Stanley Cup, his nick name was Great Wall.
I am going to see three games this year. I hope they win. The Leafs last Stanley Cup they won is 1967, that was 46 years ago. The Leafs play at the Air Canada Centre/ ACC down town Toronto. The Leafs first arena was called the Maple Leafs Gardens. The ACC can hold up to 18,800 people for a hockey game. Tickets can vary in price depending where you want to sit so look on the Leafs website to find out http://mapleleafs.nhl.com/club/page.htm?id=73041.
I have a winter classic jersey, winter classic is an out door game that two teams get to play. It is always on New Year's Day. The Leafs have a mascot named Carlton he is a polar bear. The Leafs have a farm team called the Toronto Marlies, this is where some players go before they go to the NHL. They take some players from the farm team to replace a player if they are not able to play in a NHL game. When the NHL first started there were 6 teams and the Leafs were one of the 6 teams. The Toronto Maple Leafs team first started in 1917 Eddie Livingstone was the man who started the Toronto Maple Leafs hockey. team. First they were called the Toronto Arenas, then the Toronto St Patrick's, then the big Toronto Maple Leafs that every one knows.
If you did not know about the Leafs now, I hope you learned some things about them.
GO LEAFS GO!!!!!!!
