The logo was designed in partnership with Toji Nola, a designer and illustrator based in Toronto. Toji is passionate about creating designs that leave a lasting impression and celebrate meaningful stories. The logo is meant to recognize exceptional achievements of individuals within the community, namely the visibility and inspiration those achievements bring. Additionally, the Toronto Maple Leafs are an institution with a legacy that spans generations. The roots of the Leaf symbolizes bringing families and communities together (to watch the team lose again in the first round, sorry). I thought this description of the logo was very poetic, so here it is: > The logo’s roots, located at the stem of the leaf, symbolize ancestry and heritage, providing one with a strong sense of identity that helps them grow to lofty heights. There are thirteen root branches mirroring the thirteen veins at the top of the iconic Maple Leaf. In the background of the Leafs logo are a set of triangles and each point of the triangle represents an important aspect of Black Excellence; community, leadership and character. The large triangle, resting on top of a zigzag pattern, represents the pinnacle of achievements – excellence. The zigzag pattern indicates the ebbs and flows of life and that the road to excellence isn’t often linear. When these elements come together, a beautiful tapestry is formed giving people a sense of identity, history and belonging. [Toronto Maple Leafs Unveil New Logo Celebrating Black Excellence and Host Annual Black Excellence Game Presented By Rogers On February 22 | Toronto Maple LeafsToday, the Toronto Maple Leafs unveiled a new, special-edition logo during Black History Month that celebrates a community which has heavily influenced the culture of our city and the sport of hockey.

Toronto is rocketing up the standings thanks to this five-game winning streak. Hannah Miller had four points (2g, 2a) in this win. Julia Gosling scored the other two, and Daryl Watts had three assists. Huge night for that line. Actually they weren't a line outright, Watts and Miller play together, but Gosling was the 13th forward in this game. I'd say there's no better time to ask for a promotion!

I agree, the Leafs should get McDavid and Crosby on the first lines and move Marner to anchor a line with Point on the third line. [Lessons from the 4 Nations tournament for the Maple Leafs, and examining the depth scoring issue -- Leafs NotebookWow, what a 4 Nations tournament so far. I thought it would be fun, but I didn’t expect this. The teams are playing for keeps and defending hard. It has been physical and feisty, with genuine animosity on display.

Makes me think playing him with David Kampf or Pontus Holmberg or god forbid Max Domi on a third line is a terrible idea. [Jon Cooper on Mitch Marner’s line vs. Team Finland: “Cirelli and Hagel are the worker bees, and Mitch organizes things in the offensive zone...
