St. Catharines Saints
October 7, 2018
This Ontario-based American Hockey League franchise served as the top minor league farm club of the Toronto Maple Leafs for four seasons between 1982 and 1986. The Saints were owned outright by the Maple Leafs during this period. After four years of poor attendance, the Leafs moved the Saints out of St. Catharines and into another small Ontario community – Newmarket – ahead of the 1986-87 AHL season.
