Maple Leaf Gardens is no longer home to the Toronto Maple Leafs. Our beloved team has moved in to a new home with the Toronto Raptors at the new Air Canada Center beside the Skydome. The Gardens, though an old building, is still young with memories that many people with cherish for a very long time. The love for the game of hockey has never been lost and surely there are to be many new memories at the new AC Center for generations to come.
