Collection: Toronto Maple Leafs Hockey Cards

Toronto Maple Leafs hockey cards are among the most iconic in NHL history, featuring legends like Darryl Sittler, Mats Sundin, and modern superstar Auston Matthews. Matthews’ Young Guns rookie card is a grail item for collectors, and modern rookie cards for Mitch Marner, William Nylander, and Joseph Woll also draw attention. Vintage Leafs cards from Parkhurst and modern releases from Upper Deck attract a broad range of collectors.

The Toronto Maple Leafs, founded in 1917 as one of the NHL’s Original Six franchises, boast a storied history with 13 Stanley Cup championships, Hall of Fame players, and a passionate fan base spanning generations. Early Leafs teams under coach Conn Smythe dominated the 1940s with stars like Syl Apps, Turk Broda, and Ted Kennedy, capturing five championships in that decade alone. The 1960s brought another dynasty as Dave Keon, Johnny Bower, and Frank Mahovlich led Toronto to four Stanley Cups between 1962 and 1967, with the 1967 title marking the franchise’s most recent championship. The decades that followed featured playoff disappointments but produced stars like Darryl Sittler, whose 10-point game in 1976 remains an NHL record, and goaltender Felix Potvin, who carried competitive 1990s teams alongside forwards Doug Gilmour and Mats Sundin, the longtime captain and franchise scoring leader. Despite regular playoff appearances, Toronto endured one of sports’ longest championship droughts, with modern stars like Auston Matthews, the 2022 Hart Trophy winner, Mitch Marner, William Nylander, and captain John Tavares leading the Leafs back to prominence in the 2020s. In 2023, Toronto won its first playoff series since 2004, defeating Tampa Bay before falling in the second round, signaling progress toward ending decades of frustration. From early dynasties to modern superstar talent, the Maple Leafs’ history blends tradition, iconic players, and one of hockey’s most dedicated fan bases eager for the return of Stanley Cup glory to Toronto.
