Perhaps one of Canada's most famous hockey teams, the Toronto Maple Leafs are the proud winners of more than a dozen Stanley Cup Championships. They are also dead rivals with the Montreal Canadiens, so try not to miss this epic match-up.

The Toronto Raptors is Canada's only professional basketball team. In their early years, they struggled before signing Vince Carter, but now find themselves as worthy contenders in the National Basketball Association.

The Toronto Blue Jays franchise was founded in 1977. The team found themselves to be the winners of the World Series in both 1992 and 1993. Catch them as the play other teams from the MLB's American League.
