Inside the Palace: A History of Maple Leaf Gardens

It might be getting too old and too small for professional hockey, but for Canadian hockey fans, Maple Leaf Gardens is a place of pilgrimage. Since 1931 the home of the Toronto Maple Leafs has hoisted 11 Stanley Cup banners and been a second home to players, staff and owners, including the recently deceased (and much despised) Harold Ballard. In this documentary for The Journal, reporter Allen Abel looks back at almost 60 years of history at the Gardens.
