Suigi Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 I second that, James.As for a team name, I still wish it'd be St.Pats or Arenas.That way, they'd be the only AHL team to have won a Stanley Cup!

lopernv Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 The Toronto Marlboros are a level 'AAA' hockey team from ages 8-18, and that is thier excat logo on the puck. They are also called the Marlies...http://www.torontomarlboros.com/There is an OHL and OHA logo on their site, wouldn't be surprised if they became the farm team for the Maple Leafs.

Dilbert Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I contacted the AHL a few weeks ago, he simply said that Toronto has not yet announced its name and Calgary had not yet announced plans for next year. This was before the announcement that Hershey would break apart from Colorado. Signature intentionally left blank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAD! Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 From Today's Toronto Star:Marlies moniker recycledLeafs' AHL club gets historic name Ricoh new home for farm teamPAUL HUNTERSPORTS REPORTERThe Maple Leafs will reach into its storied past when the club crowns Toronto's new American Hockey League club the Marlies at a press conference today.The Marlies will play out of the Ricoh Coliseum beginning in the fall and are the transplanted St. John's Maple Leafs. The minor-league team is leaving the Newfoundland capital after 14 seasons.The moniker Marlies, or Marlboroughs, dates back to the early 1900s with the formation of the Toronto Marlborough Athletic Club, a team named after a long line of English noblemen.Other names under consideration for the Leafs' top farm team included Buds, Baby Leafs and St. Pats. The name Marlies is mostly remembered for the major Junior A hockey team that played out of Maple Leaf Gardens until they were moved in 1989.Up until the NHL began the entry draft in 1967, the Leafs had used the Marlborough organization as one of its feeder systems. Players could be groomed, playing for the Marlies, moving on until they played major junior hockey. The Marlies have always worn a very similar uniform to the Leafs, with a crown set on a blue maple leaf as a logo. The old Marlie junior club once regularly sold out the Gardens. But it was bleeding money, losing about $500,000 a year and averaging 1,146 fans a game, when owner Harold Ballard sold it to two Hamilton businessmen in 1989. But before he died in 1990, Ballard gave permission for the system of minor-league players to continue using the name Marlies. Ballard had a grandson playing in that organization. It remains a historic name in today's GTHL. I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC97 Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 I am pleased with this name -- I wanted something traditional, definately not a name like Baby Leafs or Buds --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Jello Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 I wish the team was called the MARLBOROS. What's with this "Marlies" crap? That would be like officially calling the CFL team the Toronto ARGOS when they are called the ARGONAUTS. If it's a shortened name the fans use fine. But when it's the offical name then it's a disspointment. St. pats would have been cool as well, since that was the Leafs original name.The Marlies have always worn a very similar uniform to the Leafs, with a crown set on a blue maple leaf as a logo. Thier first uniforms featured a lion as their logo. This was back in the early 1900's when they actually challenged for the Stanley Cup one year.
