NHL All-Star Game Nominations

From the ranks of the Maple Leafs, 98 field players and eleven goalkeepers were in the squad at an all-star game. This also takes into account the three benefit games that were played before the introduction of the NHL All-Star Games . The field players came to 234 missions, in which they scored 48 goals and 79 assists. The goalkeepers also bring in 19 missions. It should be noted that the Maple Leafs competed in the Ace Bailey Benefit Game in 1934 , but also seven times as Stanley Cup winners with their entire team between 1947 and 1968. 47 players were only used in the Maple Leafs team. Three rookies or sophomores from the Maple Leafs were in the squad for the YoungStars Game, which was played from 2002 to 2009.

With nine appearances for the Maple Leafs, Frank Mahovlich is the player who can look back on the most appearances in the team's history. In four missions he was in the squad of the Maple Leafs. All of Mats Sundin's eight missions were on an all-star team. With twelve templates and 15 points, Sundin is also the most successful. Mahovlich scored the record of four goals. Vincent Damphousse did the same on his only mission in 1991. He also scored four times in this game.

Before the official All-Star Games, there were three charity games in which players from the Maple Leafs also took part. The Toronto team hosted the first, the Ace Bailey Benefit Game. At the Howie Morenz Memorial Game , Red Horner , Harvey Jackson and Charlie Conacher were three players from Toronto.

After the Maple Leafs played the Stanley Cup winners in the first three All-Star Games against the All-Star Team, it wasn't until the 4th National Hockey League All-Star Game in 1950 that players from Toronto were in an all -star Star team. With goalkeepers Turk Broda , Gus Mortson , Jimmy Thomson , Ted Kennedy and Sid Smith , the Maple Leafs made up five of the seventeen players. Harry Watson was the first player to score in an all-star game. In 1950 it was Sid Smith who was the first player from Toronto to meet in All-Star Dress.

In the 1st National Hockey League All-Star Game in 1947, the Maple Leafs hosted the All-Star Game. The Maple Leaf Gardens was the scene of the game six more times. The 50th National Hockey League All-Star Game 2000 was played again in Toronto after 32 years of abstinence, but now in the new Air Canada Center .

Some Maple Leafs players also hold or have participated in NHL All-Star Game records. Vincent Damphousse is one of five players who have scored four goals in an all-star game.

As in 1962 for the first time most valuable player was chosen in the All-Star Game, was Toronto's Eddie Shack is the winner. With Frank Mahovlich in 1963 and 1968 and Vincent Damphousse in 1991, three other players from the Maple Leafs succeeded.

In addition to the All-Star Games, there were three other occasions where the NHL provided an All-Star team. At the Summit Series 1972 came from the Maple Leafs Ron Ellis and Paul Henderson , who scored the decisive goal, used. Brian Glennie was also nominated, but was not used. At the Challenge Cup 1979 Toronto was represented by Börje Salming , Lanny McDonald and Darryl Sittler . As with the first two series, at Rendez-vous '87 the Soviet national team was opponent of the NHL team, which competed without players from the Maple Leafs.

Trainer

In the more than 80 year history of the Maple Leafs, the team has had 35 different coaches. The most successful was Hap Day , who led the Leafs to a total of five Stanley Cup victories from 1940 to 1950. Another "coaching legend" of the Leafs was Punch Imlach , who coached the team twice, from 1959 to 1969 and from 1979 to 1981. Under him, the Leafs won their last four cups to date. Joe Primeau (1950/51), Dick Irvin (1931/32), George O'Donoghue (1921/22 as St. Patricks) and Dick Carroll (1917/18 as Arenas) were responsible as coaches for each win .

Conn Smythe took over the team in 1927 and renamed it. In addition to the managerial position, he also stood as a trainer behind the gang of Maple Leafs. Smythe had enough experience here to prepare the players well for the games, but when the team had to point out dangerous situations in the course of a game, he often lacked an overview. With Art Duncan he had put a head coach behind the gang in the course of his fourth season. When the team moved to Maple Leaf Gardens, Smythe also swapped coaches. Dick Irvin found the team in poor shape and initially took care of the fitness. After the basis was created, he managed to convince the team of his abilities. With renewed confidence, the Maple Leafs managed to win the Stanley Cup at the end of Dick Irvin's first season. Irvin stood for nine seasons behind the gang of Maple Leafs and handed it over to the former player Hap Day for the 1940/41 season . Day remained coach of the Maple Leafs for ten years and during that time led the team to five Stanley Cup victories. Three other former players followed on Day. But Joe Primeau , King Clancy and Howie Meeker together played fewer games than Day and only Primeau also won the Stanley Cup as coach.

Under coach Billy Reay there were no sporting successes. After Punch Imlach was appointed general manager, he made the decision to replace Reay. As an interim solution, he took on the role of coach. He quickly managed to put the team on the road to success, and on the last day of his first season he reached the playoffs with the Maple Leafs. The momentum from the season was carried into the finals and Imlach won the Stanley Cup. In the 1960s, the experienced team from Toronto was one of the most successful in the NHL. After 760 games - more than any of its predecessors - Imlach was replaced in 1969. His successor John McLellan had no NHL experience as a coach, but had been successful with the Tulsa Oilers in the Central Hockey League . After four years, a former pillar of the team followed with Red Kelly . After his career ended after winning the fourth Stanley Cup with the Leafs, he gained experience as a coach with the Los Angeles Kings and Pittsburgh Penguins . He also looked after the team for four seasons. For his successor Roger Neilson it was the first station in the NHL. He was one of the most successful junior coaches at the Peterborough Petes and stood out for his finesse. Neilson, however, did not get along with the team owner Harold Ballard , who wanted to part with him earlier. After the end of the playoffs in 1979, there was a separation. General Manager Jim Gregory also had to go with him . However , the preferred candidates Scotty Bowman and Don Cherry were not available and so the club management around King Clancy , who managed the operational business, tried to bring Punch Imlach back. Imlach had been fired from the Buffalo Sabers six months earlier because of his old-fashioned views .

Imlach put his longtime companion Floyd Smith on the coaching position . Smith was involved in a car accident towards the end of the 1979/80 season, after which the Leafs separated from him. After a few interim solutions , in which Punch Imlach was back behind the gang, Imlach signed another former companion, Joe Crozier . However, a record of 13 wins from 40 games led to the separation. More success had Mike Nykoluk , who once played for Toronto and in previous years with the Philadelphia Flyers and New York Rangers had gained experience as an assistant coach in the NHL. Immediately after Dan Maloney had ended his active career with the Leafs, he was assistant coach of Nykoluk from the 1982/83 season . For the 1984/85 season he took over the role as head coach. After two years with moderate success, the assistant coach followed again with John Brophy . After a promising year, things went downhill for him too. There was an argument with General Manager Gerry McNamara , in which Brophy prevailed. In December 1988, however, the end came for him, and George "Chief" Armstrong looked after the team until the end of the season.

Pat Burns , who was elected the league's best coach in 1993 at the top of the Leafs, and Pat Quinn have been particularly successful in recent years . After Quinn's release in 2006, Paul Maurice , the previous coach of the Toronto Marlies, became the new coach of the Leafs. He was replaced before the 2008/09 season by Ron Wilson , who also could not reach the play-offs in the following three years. He was succeeded by Randy Carlyle , who had already won the Stanley Cup with the Anaheim Ducks. Carlyle led the Leafs into the play-offs in 2013, but failed there in the first round. In January 2015 he was released and replaced on an interim basis by Peter Horachek . Horachek and General Manager Dave Nonis were sacked at the end of the 2014/15 season . Mike Babcock was then introduced as the new head coach, who looked after the team until the 2019/20 season got off to a weak start and was then replaced by Sheldon Keefe .
