The Toronto Marlboros were a Canadian ice hockey team from Toronto , Ontario . The team played from 1904 to 1989, among other things, in one of the three highest Canadian junior ice hockey leagues, the Ontario Hockey League (OHL).
history
The Toronto Marlboros were founded in 1904 as the ice hockey division of the Toronto Marlborough Athletic Club , which had been created a year earlier . In 1927 the team was bought by Conn Smythe , who made it the farm team of his other club, the Toronto Maple Leafs . From this point on, the Marlboros and the Maple Leafs always belonged together to one owner, although the actual partnership between the two teams ended in 1967 after only senior teams were taken as cooperation partners.
Stafford Smythe, the son of Conn Smythes, founded the Metro Junior A League in 1961 as a competitor to the Ontario Hockey Association (OHA), whereupon the Marlboros joined this. However, the league was dissolved again after two years of existence, so that the team from Toronto returned to the OHA before they became a founding member of the Ontario Hockey League in 1980 , in which they played for the following nine years, before the franchise for financial reasons in 1989 Hamilton , Ontario , where it is then active under the name Dukes of Hamilton in the OHL.
The Toronto Marlboros were one of the best Canadian junior teams ever with seven Memorial Cups won and ten J. Ross Robertson Cups won . In the Memorial Cup victories in 1955 and 1956 , Hall of Famer Turk Broda was the head coach behind the gang. In addition to the Marlboros, who were active in the OHA and OHL, there were several other teams with the same name, including the Allan Cup winner from 1950.
