Newmarket Saints
January 9, 2015
The Newmarket Saints were the top farm club of the NHL’s Toronto Maple Leafs from 1986 through 1991. The team was owned directly by Maple Leaf Gardens Limited during the last dark years of the Harold Ballard era. The club played at the tiny 2,500-seater Ray Twinney Complex just north of Toronto. The arena’s insufficient size contributed to the Saints ranking dead last in American Hockey League attendance in all five seasons of their existence.
