Off-season[]

Pre-season[]

The Maple Leafs held their training camp in St. Catharines, Ontario. Herb Mortimer came up from the Toronto Goodyears to support Turk Broda and Phil Stein in net during the pre-season. He is seen in the team picture on front left.

Regular Season[]

Before the December 19, 1939 game at Boston versus the Boston Bruins, Conn Smythe puts an ad in the Boston Globe which states "Attention Hockey Fans! If you're tired of seeing the kind of hockey the Boston Bruins are playing, come to the Garden tonight and see a real hockey club, the Toronto Maple Leafs." The Bruins win 3-2 in overtime.
