Formation

The Toronto Maple Leafs was founded in 1917 under the name Toronto. Hitting their stride right away they won the Stanley Cup in their inaugural season. However they made the record of the worst ever winning percentage in the league the following year. Financial issues added to the team’s troubles and it was sold in 1919. New ownership brought a new name for the team as well and they came to be known as the Toronto St. Patricks.

Under the new name the team showed significant improvement in performance and went on to win the Stanley Cup again in 1922.  Although making its mark on the ice rink, the team faced financial problems and as a result was sold again in 1927. With the new sale the team’s name was changed to Toronto Maple Leafs.
