The Toronto Toros were an ice hockey team based out of Toronto that played in the World Hockey Association and were owned by John F. Bassett. They played from 1973 to 1976 . In their first two seasons in Toronto , the Toros compiled a respectable 84-66-6 record. In their first season the team met with enough success that they were able to justify moving to Maple Leaf Gardens the second season. But crowds dwindled the next year when the club won just 24 games and failed to reach the postseason and the franchise moved again. Their home ice was Varsity Arena and Maple Leaf Gardens. The franchise was previously known as the Ottawa Nationals and later the Birmingham Bulls.
