The Toronto Maple Leafs Wiki was started by GentleBen, and with the assistance of ChristianShephard (administrator of the Lost Wikia) in October 2008 as a project that would provide a more complete coverage of the Toronto Maple Leafs hockey club than Wikipedia was allowed to by its notability policies. Our goal is to keep more up-to-date statistical information on all current players, as a large database such as Wikipedia can have difficulties updating statistical information for the hundreds of active NHL players. A smaller wiki is also easier to manage, customize and verify (when it comes to accuracy).
