| 释义 |
The Toronto Maple Leafs were a professional box lacrosse team in the National Lacrosse Association.[1] The team started out in the senior A league in 1966.[1][2] In 1968, the professional NLA was launched[3][4] and the Maple Leafs joined the league,[5] playing their home games at Maple Leaf Gardens.[6] Stafford Smythe and Harold Ballard, part owners of the National Hockey League's Toronto Maple Leafs, were two of the five founding partners of the pro club,[7] but financial difficulties forced Maple Leaf Gardens Ltd. to take over ownership of the club midway though the season.[6][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 league had disbanded. Toronto would be without pro box lacrosse until the arrival of the Toronto Tomahawks in 1974.[14] References1. ^{{citenews|title=Lacrosse Leafs ousted, future dim|date=1966-08-16|newspaper=The Globe and Mail}} {{Toronto-stub}}{{lacrosse-stub}}2. ^{{citenews|title=Name lacrosse team Maple Leafs in bid for instant recognition|date=1966-05-10|first=Paul|last=Rimstead|newspaper=The Globe and Mail}} 3. ^{{citenews|title=Rules rewritten as lacrosse makes new effort to go professional|date=1968-03-26|first=Gord|last=Walker|newspaper=The Globe and Mail}} 4. ^{{citenews|title=Boxla pro-am pact result of meeting|date=1968-03-19|newspaper=The Globe and Mail}} 5. ^{{citenews|title=Rough?
