On November 4, 2010 hockeyhistory.org wrote a post to introduce the
launch of a special website to honour the Lethbridge Maple Leafs 60th Anniversary of their World Championship victory:
http://www.lethbridgemapleleafs.com/ Since then we have pleased to report that we have had 10,650 views of the site from fans all over the world!
Today is the 60th Anniversary day of the Lethbridge Maple Leaf World Championship Victory, March 17, 1951 in Paris, France.
The Lethbridge Maple Leafs began the journey in early December 1950 in Lethbridge, Alberta. Including games in
Canada they played 62 games. They won 51, lost 7 and tied 4. This included an amazing 44 game unbeaten string in
Europe. By the time they were getting ready for home they had traveled close to 30,000 miles by bus, train, ship, airplane and car and played before about 400,000 people in 14 countries.
In the 6 World Championship games, the Leafs scored 62 goals and only allowed 6 goals against them. A truly dominating performance!
