Toronto Maple Leafs (NLA)
The Toronto Maple Leafs were a professional
Maple Leaf Gardens Ltd. to take over ownership of the club midway through the season.[1][8][9] The NLA suspended operations prior to the following season.[9][10] However, the eastern division of the NLA reconstituted itself as the Eastern Professional Lacrosse Association, in which the Maple Leafs competed in 1969.[11][12][13] By 1970 the pro league had disbanded. Toronto would be without pro box lacrosse until the arrival of the Toronto Tomahawks in 1974.[14]
