Remembering Former Maple Leaf Tod Sloan

The Toronto Maple Leafs organization mourns the loss of Tod Sloan, who passed away at the age of 89.
Sloan spent 10 seasons with the Maple Leafs, and was part of two Stanley Cup championship teams in 1949 and 1951.

Conn Smythe shared the following revelation about Tod Sloan: "Todd is his own boss. He does what he likes with the puck. It took a few years to discover that the best way to handle him was to leave him alone."

Twice Tod Sloan led the team in goal scoring. In 1956, he equaled a Leafs record by scoring 37 times and was named a NHL second-team all-star. Tod's Leaf career came to a conclusion two seasons later, and today, he still sits as one of the Leafs ten-highest scoring centres.
In 1951, Sloan scored the tying goal in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals with 32 seconds left, leading to Bill Barilko's Cup-winning goal in overtime.
During the Maple Leafs centennial season, he was honoured as one of the hundred greatest Leafs of all time, selected at number 38.
Our thoughts are with Tod's family and friends at this time.
