The St. John's Maple Leafs was an ice hockey team in the American Hockey League. They played in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada at Memorial Stadium from 1991–2001, and at Mile One Stadium from 2001–2005.
History[]
The AHL had a strong presence in Atlantic Canada in the 1980s and 1990s, largely due to the desire of several National Hockey League Canadian franchises to continue to pay players sent down to the minors in Canadian dollars, but by 2004 St. John's was the only remaining team in the region. The desire of the parent team, the Toronto Maple Leafs, to reduce travel costs and have a tenant for its Ricoh Coliseum resulted in the team's relocation to Toronto for the 2005–06 season.
Area History[]
The franchise became known as:
- Toronto Marlies (2005-present)
The franchise was replaced by:
- St. John's Fog Devils of the QMJHL (2005–2008)
