I have an interesting question about the Maple Leaf players

Where do all of the Maple Leaf players live?

Do they live in the buildings beside the Air Canada Centre?
Do they live in the suburbs in big houses?

Something I've always wondered...does anyone really know?

I guess same could be asked for Raptors, Blue Jays...

Nice try TMZ

JK, for what it's worth. Condos are probably to most pragmatic solution for a pro athlete in this city, but not necessarily in the ones by the lake. Some tenured Jays live in condos more inwards downtown. There was a pretty funny pic of Jose Bautista scootering north late in the night after ALDS game 5. These guys probably treat Toronto as a seasonal home anyway. I'd imagine the GTA boys on the Leafs take the option of shacking in with their parents (who tend to be well established in the city/suburbs).

I know you don't have ill intent by asking the question, but it is still for good reason that not many know their whereabouts.

I assume most live in a shared condos around the downtown core, especially now with so many of the kids up. Kessel and Bozak shared one for a long time.

Maple of course, unless stalkers force them to leaf.
 
Sundin lived in a Forest Hill mansion when he played here. Most of the players on the current team can't afford to live there.

I know that McCabe had a home in Leaside that he sold, and Gilmour had one in East York.

Some of the Russians like Igor Korolev lived in North York.

David Clarkson lived in Etobicoke and took the subway to work.

I imagine they mostly just live where other similarly wealthy Torontonians live who work downtown.
 
You have to be a millionaire to live in the downtown-ish neighborhoods in Toronto anyway. The young kids seem to live in the condos around the ACC, but I imagine if and when the team has those long standing veteran again, you'll see them in Forest Hill, the Bridle Path and those kids of places again.
 
Would never put the address out but my grandparents would occasionally get Dion & Elisha's mail due to their address being the exact same with a different street prefix (we returned it all).

Can confirm it's a massive house in the Casa Loma area, wonder if they're keeping it.
 
I think most if not all live in condos or apartments downtown in just about every sport

Do you not remember in the NHL 24/7 when Phaneuf signs that contract. He lived in a condo during that time.
 
This is something I speculated on a while back.
Living in a Cap world, every organization wants to get an edge.

What would stop the Leafs from building this amazing, say 10 million dollar plus mansion/complex somewhere in the city. It would have multiple units in it, say 7 or 8 sub units in it (or more?). Amazing gym, workout rooms, in a gated private area.

"UNITS" could be offered to players, families, UFA's as temporary lodging... I know players often live in hotel rooms sometimes for weeks/months pending their contract status. Something like "as a member of the organization we also have this space available for you and your family, coming to a city you don't know and hunting for a place to live, here's a 4-5 star dwelling you can "use as a member of the team".

Not trying to "skirt the salary cap", but wouldn't this be a huge bonus to any player as say a UFA, knowing their accommodation was included for a crazy low monthly rate, in a building with teammates etc and other families? How could the league see this a cap circumvention in any way? Just the team offering a place to live for a dirt cheap rate. Cannot be quantified monetarily for cap reasons.

I am surprised this hasn't happened yet in sport.

The condo he was living in was around St. Clair and Avenue - there's a shot in 24/7 of him driving to the game and you can tell the area.

Bozak either lives in Yorkville or spends a lot of time there.

Kessel lived in one of those two towers on Bay street over the College Park complex. After Hot Dog-gate, PPP was trying to figure out where he lived. Hilariously, his number and address were listed in the phonebook, or at least an online phone directory.
 
As a funny side note, I could have sworn I saw Eric Lindros on a segway in the bike lane on Christie near St. Clair recently. I think he's up in North Toronto somewhere.

I've seen him a bunch of times in the LCBO at Summerhill - but I don't know if he actually lives in the area.
 
Kessel and Bozak lived in the college park condos. Not sure if Bozak still lives there or not though.

Cody Franson lived in a condo right near the ACC somewhere in the Yonge and Queens Quay area.
 
Babcock resides in Emma lake Saskatchewan for a while every summer if you wanna catch him off guard lol
