Toronto Maple Leaf Stanley Cup Champions
Players And Coaches Who Have Won The Cup Outside Toronto
Since the Toronto Maple Leafs last won the Stanley Cup in 1967, there have been many players and coaches to make their way through the Leafs’ system. Some of those players were booed out of town, others were traded away and some just decided not to renew their contracts and went elsewhere in the league.

Maple Leafs Are The NHL’s Farm Team
Since 1989, almost every Stanley Cup winning team has had at least one former Maple Leaf on their roster when taking their place as the league’s best team. Are the Leafs nothing more than a preparation for better times in the NHL? Are the Leafs the real life equivalent of middle school? Leaf fans hope not.
Fresh in the minds of Leafs fans are recent decisions to let players like Tuukka Rask and Brad Boyes go for nothing in return. Supporters have to be wondering if they’re doomed to watch their team suffer for another 41 years, while watching once great Leafs win championships for other teams.
