🏆 The Toronto Maple Leafs won their last Stanley Cup in 1967. What followed was nearly two decades under the control of Harold Ballard, one of the most controversial team owners in the history of professional sports. Ballard became the controlling owner in 1972 after buying out his partner's shares. He was convicted of 47 white-collar crimes and served a year in prison, but returned and continued running the franchise exactly as before. 💰 Under his leadership, profits at Maple Leaf Gardens went up, but the team went in the opposite direction. Players left because he refused to pay them. Coaches were humiliated publicly. Decisions were driven by ego and revenue rather than competition. Star players like Dave Keon and Darryl Sittler either walked away or openly revolted against his management. 📉 By the 1980s, the Maple Leafs were considered one of the worst teams in the NHL, while Ballard kept filling every seat in the arena by booking concerts, wrestling events, even religious revivals. He ran the organization until his death in 1990. Directed and narrated by Jason Priestley, this documentary features former players, journalists and insiders who lived through the Ballard years and try to explain how one man could hold that much power over a team for that long. ▶️ Watch the full documentary on the channel.
