In addition to updating uniforms, the Maple Leafs will also introduce a new mascot that will bring crisp and clear fun to all.
In a surprise announcement this morning the Toronto Maple Leafs confirmed polar bear mascot Carlton will be retired. Carlton, named after Carlton Street, the location of the old Maple Leaf Gardens, will be replaced with a new mascot named 'FourKay'.
FourKay is an exciting and friendly 4KHD television screen mounted on a mans body. His favourite pastime is watching Maple Leafs hockey games on Rogers Sportsnet in 4KHD.
Asked about the rationale for the change, MLSE PR representative April Sloof said "FourKay contemporizes our mascot portfolio, allowing us to create new cross-brand synergies that will deliver enhanced curation and integration of Rogers' entertainment and lifestyle products to our client touch-points.
