Toronto Maple Leafs
Blue hockey franchise
The Toronto Maple Leafs are a professional ice hockey team based in Toronto, Ontario, competing in the National Hockey League.
One of the NHL's "Original Six" franchises, they have won 13 Stanley Cup championships, though none since 1967—the longest active championship drought in the league.
The team's name honors Canadian soldiers who served in World War I, with "Leafs" as the proper plural rather than "Leaves" because it functions as a proper noun.
The Leafs haven't won the Cup in my lifetime.
