The Toronto Maple Leafs (officially the Toronto Maple Leaf Hockey Club) are a Canadian professional ice hockey team based in Toronto, Ontario, that competes in the National Hockey League (NHL). The Maple Leafs are a member club of the league's Atlantic Division in the Eastern Conference. The team is one of the "Original Six" league members. They are owned by Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, Ltd. and are represented by Chairman Larry Tanenbaum. In February 1999, they moved to the Air Canada Centre, which replaced Maple Leaf Gardens, the team's home since 1931.
The franchise was founded in 1917, operating simply as Toronto and known today as the Toronto Arenas, as it was operated by the Toronto Arena Company, owners of the Arena Gardens arena. In 1919, the NHL transferred the franchise to new owners who christened the team the Toronto St. Patricks. The franchise was sold in 1927 and was renamed the Toronto Maple Leaf Hockey Club. The team colours are navy blue and white.
C'mon drift away through fundamental boundaries
To find ourselves surrounding
The ones who've already gone and come back stronger
All is numb
I've been lost too long
My fate's been mistakenly chosen
All is numb
Yeah I've done you wrong
My fate's been mistakenly chosen
Here you'll stay
Where lies are spread wide open
And ties are not so strong
That place you'll never find me
I've already gone
[chorus]
I guess my thinking too much is what's been fuckin' me up
It's my own worst enemy, but
It will never own me...
Who am I kidding anyway?
[chorus]
