By: Ben Shelley and Peter Baracchini
It’s something that every kid dreams about. The opportunity of a life time to meet and skate with their idols.
Fans, majority of who were kids, were lined up throughout the Vaughan Sports Village complex to meet their favourite Toronto Maple Leafs players...

After the extremely surprising, exciting and rewarding 2016-17 season the Maple Leafs can conclude that they are ready to win now. Luckily, after the perfect storm of small skilled forwards, Mitch Marner and William Nylander, falling into their laps later in the draft than they should have been taken, signing promising undrafted...

Finally the World Hockey Championships had some meaning. Usually it's a tournament that is on in the background of the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs, but with the Ottawa Senators still around in those.....who really cares? I understand that some will be enjoying the Western Conference finals as Leafs fans go searching for...

How to Upgrade the Blueline?
Shortly after the lovely start of our 2016/2017 season, as some of you may recall, I wrote a piece called “Pimp My Blueline” outlining what I’d like to see the Leafs do to improve the corps on the backend for the short and long term. The piece mentioned potential unrestricted free agents to...
May 18th, 20170675In the end, the Marlies just didn't have the depth to keep up to a very skilled Syracuse Crunch team, and are now out of the Calder Cup Playoffs after a Game #7 loss last night.
Jumping out to a 3-1 lead in the second period, the Marlies seemed to be heading in the right direction, but Syracuse would not roll over and die.
After...

May 15th, 20170464Andrew Nielsen scored the game winning goal on a howitzer from the blueline during the Marlies powerplay at 11:33 of the 3rd period. That goal, with Grundstrom providing a screen, was enough to ensure the Marlies a Game 7 back in Syracuse later this week.

Most of us who watched William Nylander last year with the Marlies know exactly what this young gun can do. He had a hell of a debut season with the Maple Leafs, registering: 22 Goals, 39 Assists for a total of 61 points. He also impressed in only 6 playoff games with 1 goal, 4 assists for a total on 4 points and finishing a +4. No...

The Toronto Marlies picked up a massive Game #4 victory by a score of 3-2 on Wednesday night at the Ricoh Coliseum.
With Syracuse up a goal early in the contest, after a terrible clearing sequence by the Marlies, it was up to a new addition to the line up, Dicky Clune.
Heavy forecheck led to the opening goal, and it was a theme...
May 10th, 20170969The Toronto Maple Leafs season has come to an end, but what a season it was. Back in the fall, where there was some hope, but little certainty, the team was just a year into their full on rebuild and not a lot was expected from this team. Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner, 2 of their cornerstone players, had yet to play one game and so...
