Few people can fail to be aware that Ice Hockey is pretty important in Canada.

Toronto’s team, the Maple Leaves may be a financial success, but are not known as winners on the ice.

Recently the Toronto Star ran a selection of Maple Leaf jokes, of which the following is a taster:

Q: What do the Leafs and the Titanic have in common?

A: They both look good until they hit the ice!

Q: What do you call 25 millionaires sitting around watching the Stanley Cup playoffs on TV?

(the Stanley Cup is the NHL championship trophy)
