The Toronto Maple Leafs announced today that its American Hockey League franchise will be named the Toronto Marlies when the team relocates to Toronto at the start of the 2005-06 season. This isn't exactly a surprise. I wrote about this change back in December and mentioned I like the historical

Kevin Shea is the author of "Barilko: Without a Trace", the detailed story of Bill Barilko. It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of the legend of Bill Barilko. You'll see his name at the top of this site and you'll find a Barilko #5 Leafs jersey hanging in
