Honoured Numbers:

Until the 2016-2017 season, uniquely among NHL teams, the Leafs would raise a numbered banner to 'honour' a player while allowing the number to continue in use by the next generation of players. Thus many lesser talents have shared many of the above jersey numbers with the honourees. The team reversed this policy to launch the team's 100th anniversary.

Conn Smythe bought the franchise in 1926, that year the teams was renamed the Maple Leafs. As a tribute to the former owners, the team colours were left as green and white for the duration of the first season.

One of the Original Six teams in the NHL, along with the Detroit Red Wings, Chicago Blackhawks, New York Rangers, Boston Bruins, and Montréal Canadiens, Toronto has enjoyed many years of hockey, rich in history and filled with rivalries.
