When Conn Smythe bought the team in 1927, he renamed them the Maple Leafs, since he once scouted a team called the "East Toronto Maple Leafs." Smythe, a World War I veteran, was very patriotic and liked the grammatically incorrect name's link to Canada's national symbol.

*The Maple Leafs generally honor their greatest players with an honored number rather than a retired number, so that current players can continue building the legacy of those numbers. The Maple Leafs will only retire numbers of players who experience a career-ending incident while playing for the team. Barilko was killed in a plane crash while an active member of the team, and Bailey suffered a career-ending head injury during a game against the Boston Bruins.
