With the NHL pausing the 2019-20 regular season on March 12 due to the concerns surrounding the coronavirus, NHL.com is taking stock of each of the League's 31 teams.

Today, a look at three memorable moments for the Toronto Maple Leafs at the pause:

Happy birthdays

The Toronto Maple Leafs tried their absolute best to ensure two of their younger fans had happy birthdays.

Kade Foster, whose 11th birthday party was not attended by friends, and an 8-year-old named Jacob, who received the wrong birthday cake from a Quebec bakery, received Maple Leafs tickets after those mishaps.

No. 1 fan

Justin Bieber shared his love for the Maple Leafs with more than 130 million people.

The pop icon and Maple Leafs superfan attended their game against the San Jose Sharks on Oct. 25 and bombarded his followers with photos while sitting behind the bench with his dad, Jeremy.
