Maple Leaf Gardens is a historic Art Deco arena designed by Ross and Macdonald and completed in 1931 at the northwest corner of Carlton and Church Streets in Toronto. Built as an indoor hockey venue, it became a legendary home of the Toronto Maple Leafs from 1931 to 1999, during which the team won the Stanley Cup eleven times (1932–1967). The building hosted the first unofficial NHL All-Star Game in 1934 and the first official annual All-Star Game in 1947. Beyond hockey, Maple Leaf Gardens welcomed the Toronto Huskies of the Basketball Association of America (1946–1947), Elvis Presley's concert in 1957, Game 2 of the 1972 Summit Series between Team Canada and the USSR, and numerous other professional sports teams. Designated a national historic site of Canada and a provincial heritage property, the building sat largely vacant after the Leafs relocated in 1999, before being sold in 2009 and converted into a mixed-use facility incorporating retail and recreational spaces.
