The Leafs were founded in November 1917 as a last minute addition to the newly formed NHL. The team was originally just known as "Toronto" although they quickly became known as the "Arenas" after being sponsored by the Toronto Arena Company. The team went under new ownership in 1919 and the name was changed to the St. Patricks, in an effort to appeal to the city's large immigrant Irish community. In 1927, the team was sold again to businessman Conn Smythe who once again renamed the team; this time to the Maple Leafs.

It should be noted that the NHL, the Maple Leafs, and most of their fans consider these changes as simply name changes, meaning that it is the same franchise but just under a different name. This would be no different then when the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim changed their names to the Ducks.

The previous poster, who's answer I have removed, made an incorrect assumption of associating the Toronto Pro H.C. and the Toronto Blueshirts of the NHA to the current franchise. The Blueshirts folded (and arguably made the NHA fold with it) in 1917 and aren't considered part of Maple Leaf franchise history.

The Raptors were founded in 1995 along with the Vancouver Grizzlies, who now play in Memphis.

Curtis Joseph, the NHL professional, has played for the St. Louis Blues, Edmonton Oilers, Toronto Maple Leafs, and Detroit Red Wings. He also played for the college team during his time at the University of Wisconsin.
