Toronto Hockey and the Birth of the Leafs

Welcome to the second episode on the history of hockey in Toronto. When the last episode ended, Toronto’s first professional hockey team had just disbanded. If Toronto was going to win its first Stanley Cup, it would need a new team of pros. Or two teams of pros as things turned out. In this episode, learn how how Toronto won its first Stanley Cup, how the players from this Cup-winning team got moved to Seattle and how the NHL was created to get rid of a troublesome Toronto team owner.
