Toronto Marlies

The cake is not a lie.

The Marlies are a young and exciting team with a lot of new faces. They are the younger, greener version of the Leafs, and they might just be as much fun to watch this year.

On their return from their trip to Newfoundland, the Marlies announced camp cuts, and it’s now official that Adam Brooks will go back to junior hockey for another year.

With rosters to be set by 5 pm tomorrow, the NHL is in a frenzy of waiving players to meet the 23-player limit.

Another night, another win by the Marlies over the IceCaps.

While the big teams are busy, the Toronto and Montréal AHL franchises are battling it out in Newfoundland in the annual Colemans Cup.

Waiver status is just one of the reasons why NHL rosters are not a meritocracy. Preseason is the perfect time for a refresher on how it all works.

Marlies camp only started yesterday, but they are not afraid to make snap decisions. See the new roster, and get details on the stealthy cut from the main Leafs camp too.

So many players made their NHL debut last season.

This feisty Russian rockets his way up the ranks.

After three impressive seasons in the SHL, Andreas Johnson is among a small group of Leafs prospects who are next in line for a chance to prove themselves in the NHL.

Hockey is finally on its way. The AHL schedule is out, and there are some changes and improvements for this year.

No one will be laughing at the Marlies this year.

It's a bit busy in the Leafs office today. They're not spending any time lamenting free agents gone by, they're getting on with filling rosters and looking ahead to training camp.
