As the Toronto Maple Leafs celebrate the franchise's Centennial Anniversary this season, the team announced that it will pay tribute to one of the earliest eras of the club's history by wearing St. Pats uniforms on March 18 at Air Canada Centre as the Leafs face the Chicago Blackhawks.
Prior to being renamed the Maple Leafs by Conn Smythe, the hockey club was known as the St. Pats from 1919 to 1927, winning the Stanley Cup in 1922 under that moniker, the franchise's second after winning its original championship as the Toronto Arenas in 1918.
