The Toronto Neil McNeil Maroons were formed from the remnants of the
1961–62 OHA season in the Metro Junior A League, the school decided to end the Majors program. The Toronto Maple Leafs' prospect players on the Majors were transferred to Neil McNeil High School, with Jim Gregory remaining as their coach and the director of the Maple Leafs' farm team system.[2]
The Maroons finished in first place in the Metro Junior A league during the
1962–63 OHA season, and reached the finals for the J. Ross Robertson Cup but lost to the Niagara Falls Flyers.[3][4] The Maroons were amalgamated into the Toronto Marlboros in 1963, another farm team of the Maple Leafs.[2]
