History

The Marlboro Hockey Club founded in 1902, is the second oldest continuous run hockey club in the city behind only the “University of Toronto Varsity Blues”, which fielded its first team in 1891. Even the storied Toronto Maple Leafs are younger, having played its initial season in 1931. This section is dedicated to the executives, players and parents that have made the “Marlboros” the most famous name in all of amateur hockey.

Written by Michael Chraba

Dreams do come through with hard work!

The Toronto Marlboro Hockey Club is pleased to recognize the "Class of '89" as coached by James Naylor, Dave Gagner and Paul Forbes. After reaching their ultimate goal in Minor Hockey culminating in the OHL Cup Championship, our players went their separate ways to persevere and try to reach the next possible level of hockey possible.

We are very proud of the entire group who have been successful in their lives and continue in hockey at the various next levels; be it OHL, Tier 2 and University.

This weekend we tip our hats to those players who have moved one step closer to their dream by being selected in the 2007 NHL Draft:

Toronto Marlboros - Road to the Stanley Cup

Written by Paul Lewicki
A Marlboro team playing for the Stanley Cup? Yes it actually happened! And in this day and age of minor teams playing 120 game schedules, their route to the Stanley Cup was a real “eye opener”! In the 1903-04 season the Marlboros competed at the highest level in the Ontario Hockey League Senior Division. The NHL had not even been formed at this point in time. With all games played indoors on natural ice, the schedule was at the mercy of “mother nature” and thus the season began much later than the present day.

TORONTO MARLBORO HOCKEY CLUB – IT’S HISTORY

While the 2010-2011 season will see the Marlboro minor teams entering their 80th season of competition the actual birth of the hockey club dates back to the turn of another century.

It was in the late 1800's that a group of local sportsmen decided to form a new athletic club in downtown Toronto. The name they chose was "The Toronto Marlborough Athletic Club".
