Toronto Maple Leafs Stunned By Passing Of Former Player
A player who spent a decade playing the game he loved in hockey, as well as 41 games for the Toronto Maple Leafs, has sadly passed away.
At the age of 75, Larry McIntyre once had his dream come true- he made the NHL in the 1972-73 season with the Toronto Maple Leafs followed by his long career with the Tulsa Oilers.
The honor of donning the Maple Leafs iconic logo is sure a privilege as they are one of the most storied franchises in NHL history, being apart of the original six of course.

The MapleLeafs
drafted McIntyre with the 31st overall selection in the 1969 NHL amateur draft. He would go on to appear in 41 career NHL games between 1970 and 1973, all with the Maple Leafs.
The Tisdale, Saskatchewan native captured the 1970 Calder Cup with the AHL’s Buffalo Bisons, and the 1976 Adams Cup with the Tulsa Oilers of the Central Hockey Hockey League.
22 years after his final professional hockey game, McIntyre returned to Tulsa as an assistant coach for the 1998-99 season. He would take over as head coach for the final 51 games of that season.
