If there’s one positive to take from this stoppage, it’s that the Toronto Maple Leafs farm team’s horrific season was able to end.
The Toronto Marlies have been one of the best American Hockey League organizations since it’s existence 15 years ago.
The Marlies have only missed the playoffs three times and have two Calder Cup championship appearances, including one title in 2018.
As someone who had the privilege of seeing the team everyday for four seasons, I’ve come to respect the life of an AHLer and how hard it is.
