  • In Days of yore,

    From Britain's shore

    Wolfe the dauntless hero came

    And planted firm Britannia's flag

    On Canada's fair domain.

    Here may it wave,

    Our boast, our pride

    And joined in love together,

    The thistle, shamrock, rose entwined,

    The Maple Leaf Forever.

  • This made a beautiful song ugly... meant to be red & white not blue & white. The leafs are a disgrace

  • Maple 'Laughs' forever.......forever at the bottom of the NHL.

    The best jugglers, fire breathers, midget tossers, lion tamers, bearded women in the NHL= TM

    Better for the Maple Laughs join the circus rather than the NHL.

    Terrible to associate my great country with the continual failure of the Maple Laughs.

    Play like clowns get treated likes clowns.

  • @good2goskee You sir are a fool. The Leaf fans are true and faithful, the same cannot be said of any other Canadian team so it really doesn't matter who you support. And even a blind person could see the progression the Leafs have been making recently so soon enough you'll be eating your words and probably cheering along with the rest of the nation as the TRUE Canadian team brings the Cup home to stay. Other Canadian teams wish they could have the legacy of Toronto, the passion of its fans.

  • @ccAshercc Right!....have another drink.....legacy? Toronto is almost a half century since their last cup. They've not made the playoffs for almost 10yrs. They've not been even a contender for 20yrs. THEY ARE A NATIONAL JOKE! They're not close to a contender for 5 yrs due to management blunders. People make fun of the Oilers ( 5 cups in their short history), People laugh at the Canucks (3rd final and they've made the playoffs consistantly for 15 yrs). Passion?? LOL Delusional is more like it.

  • Hey Alex, he said unofficial...

  • GOD I love Canada!

  • and to think we Americans once passed this tune off as one for square dancing.

  • if we Brits have one friend in this World its you Canadians. Long Live the Commonwealth.

  • Comment removed

  • man, toronto used to be soo good, what happened? and montreal too

  • @ymechaiekh Excuse me.

    GO HABS GO!

  • Did anybody see the Olympic rendition of this song? It was AWESOME!

  • johnson1095, you are right. That was very awesome. I am actually on here now trying to find a video of it, but I am having no luck.

  • @commonsense080

    they probibly won't have it up on youtube for awhile b/c of copyright laws.

  • @johnson1095 Michael Buble did a really good remake of this song I loved it

  • @johnson1095 It was! Michael Buble was spectacle ... truly worthy of the title, Canadian Superstar :)

  • They had a great intellectual in Harold Ballard as owner. He took a lot of good decisions for the team to win many Stanley cups in 70's, 80's, 90's. Oh!! sorry, that's true you won your last cup in 1967. You lovable loser, you're so cute with the faith you have for your team. that's make me cry sniff snifffffff

  • @MrDomo66 that's make you cry eh?

    How about you learn proper grammar, then you can come back and insult people.

  • The best part of Toronto is me.......and I left!

  • sure bud lol

  • New York Islanders!

  • Turning this song into a Toronto Maple Leafs tribute is an insult to the song and the rest of Canada.

  • hmm. not sure how to respond to that...

    i'll keep my nose out for once.

  • You are an insult to Canada

  • Nice one :)

  • yeah.. and the song was so encompassing to begin with.. song belongs to and always will belong to upper canada aka southern ontario and the rest of leafs nation...

  • Give it up! The whole worlds in a bucket of shit with all the 'bastardization" and it's not going to change.

    So, I guess you've never insulted in your life or not that you thought you did.

    Who gives a crap, We humans always gotta put our 2 Canadian Cents in it...why not just let it be!...Imagine!

  • @CYRAPHYM Let It Be? Imagine?

  • @SeaCadet263 - sorry I forgot to put who I was responding to ...my bad

  • Screw you! Major Conn Smythe, who founded the Leafs, fought for Canada in two wars (WWI, WWII) and he named the team to honor his country. Maple Leaf Gardens was like a grand cathedral. That the song has become associated with the hockey team is just too goddamn bad! At least the Blue and White are proud of their country. Eh, Frenchy? GO LEAFS GO!

  • Why don't kids sing this song in schools. It's beautiful!

  • @324wilson I am sorry to say, but the government does not have a copyright on this song. I went to the Canadian Government website and it told me that a different company had a copyright on this song, that would be a reason why this song is not played in schools.

  • @324wilson Becuase the candy ass liberals won't let the schools play it.

  • @324wilson Its' a gorgeous song that every Canadian and child should know by heart. A riveting melody that all Canadians should be proud off.

  • @Nicktint Here, Here but many politicans think that we should not sing or know anything about our British past. They "think" that people will not like that. No wonder that almost half of the nation does not vote!

  • @324wilson The Maple Leaf Forever was Canada's unofficial national anthem. The French Canadians did not like the song due to references to the King/Queen (whom ever is in power at the time). It is used as a Canadian Forces Marching Song today.

  • @Alex911TheCanadian I am sorry but to the best of my knowledge the National anthem of Canada up til the 1960's was "God Save the Queen/King. When I went to school in the 40's & 50's we always sang it at school at the beginning of each day.

  • GREAT SONG!! Really great job on the video. But Remember.. VANCOUVER CANUCKS RULE!!! LOL

  • When you stop to think about it, there is more to the present day

    Toronto Maple Leafs legacy, which reflects our society over all.

    People criticize the Leafs, fair enough but could they (the critics)

    actually have skills to rebuild a team into a championship winner

    For example; Sir John A. Macdonald showed he could build the

    Conservatives, almost single handedly into a winner.

    However, when Peter MacKay was given the opportunity

    to see what he could so, he passed it over to Harpers masses

  • 1.11 the best defender of all time Börje Salming

  • H e was also the fastest when he first entered the N.H.L. opponents had a hellof a time trying to stop him when he had the puck.

    Because of Borge Salming, the hero to Swedish hockey fans

    the Toronto Maple Leafs became that countries favourite

    N.H.L. team

    On that note I am sorry the Leafs let Matts Sundin go, I feel

    players can make contributions outside of the hockey rink

  • long live the empire!!!

  • HAPPY CANADA DAY!!

  • Nice song but i hate the toronto maple leaf Go habs Go

  • Great song, great message. Allies forever, Britain and Canada.

    Also, Leafs rule!!

  • ive never seen a game of ice hockey before because its not big in England at all but i caught a game on late night tv between detroit and pensylvania i think, it was the final of the stanley cup everyone is talking about and it was great i was hooked, ive chosen to support toronto maple leafs because of the British connection!

  • Ok thats good that you like the leafs but its pitsburgh not pensylvania.

  • OH GOD!!!!!!!!111 awfuk choice! im sorry, but you dont understand hockey i guess. wen a team cant win in over 40 years....it means they suck, if u want the best team in history, go with the montreal canadian. u'll see, leafs are the worst team in the nhl

  • I hope your hockey knowledge is better than your grammar skills.

    Awfuk- Do you mean AWFUL or Oh Fuck?

    wen - or When

    Canadian- you mean CANADIEN, the spelling is suppose to indicate French heritage, that is why it is spelled not spelt with an "E" (EEEE.. we are bankrupt Mr. Gillette) and on our 100th

    anniversary too.

    I have a question for Montreal Fans, when you speak of the Leafs and 40 years, WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME MONTREAL

    WON THE CUP WITH FRANCOPHONES ONLY?

    THE FLYING FRENCHMEN???-

    .

  • Are you some kind of grammar and spelling freak? Only somebody from Toronto would say something like that. We're not bankrupt... What the fuck are you talking about "when was the last time Montreal won the cup with francophones only" WHAT THE FUCK is that supposed to mean. All i can tell you is that the habs ALWAYS do better then the leafs and they last won in 1993, and when did the leafs win? or better yet when did the leafs win with anglophones only? How was my grammar? Go get a life.

  • Hey the Montreal Canadiens are the ones who have the nickname the FLYING FRENCHMEN.

    Yet in your teams history,You,ve had many more English or Anglophones than Flying Frenchmen that brought those Stanley Cups to your team.

    So when did Montreal have a French only Stanley Cup team?

    The Toronto Maple Leafs in our history always were mainly

    an English only team with a few French players.

    Your grammar is getting better, your hockey history needs work, as well as your manners when visiting others.

  • um the flying frenchman was guy lafleur dumbass not the entire canadiens. and the canadiens always had mostly a french team anyways so shut the fuck up :) and i dont need manners on youtube................so ya go suck a cock :)

  • Actually the terminology came years before Guy Laflure ever laced up his skates, you guys really should study your own hockey historybefore you enter anothr persons house and begin lecturing.

    It was the entire team that was called that and no they did not always have mainly francophones on their team.

    As for manners I remember when you guys won the Cup there

    was a riot in Montreal, cars overturned, stores looted

    That same year Toronto won the World Series again,- No problems

  • um no nobody ever called the team the flying frenchmen, maybe in toronto because your to stupid to learn another language, and who gives a shit we're happy people :) just cuz we actually have character and culture in montreal, doesnt mean we bad. toronto has no life losers who are all like nerdy little kids

  • Good God, where did you get your education?

    Does it really make you really feel more important, tougher,

    more intellectual by using profane language.

    The Montreal; Canadiens were always known as the Flying Frenchmen- Fact

    The team did have the entire Province of Quebec to themselves as a talent pool.- Fact

    Without Anglophone players they would not have won as many Cups- Fact

    Yes Toronto are nerdy little kids , that is why when we WON

    the World Series our people were well behaved, No riots

  • haha nerd im gonna go fuck my girlfriend, u can go hump your calculator and most of the greatest montreal canadiens have been frech so yea go suck a tit, oh yea ur nerds, i guess u can suck a pencil? i dont know, wtv have fun sucking at hockey

    k bye i win :)

  • Don,t you have a Forum of your own to go to?

    Oh I am sorry, you bull(shit) dozed it.

    Ask your girlfriend to give you the Grand blow job, she

    charges more than the Montreal skaters ever did, for a

    period

  • forum is still there dumbass, and i can see youve never had a girlfriend since if had, u would know she wouldnt charge for sucking my dick, that would be a hooker.....and montreal players get just as much as anybody else

  • Go fuck yourself mother fucker

  • nice comeback :)

  • PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA

  • BritishNationalism great to meet you, I am Commonwealth

    Canadian, and I just wanted to let you know that in the early part of the 20th century Great Britain not only participated in

    Ice Hockey at the Olympics but won the gold medal.

    Canadians who were cut from the Canada or Dominion Team,

    some may have been British born joined the other team.

    Today you have Quebec Separatist who choose to be on Team France rather than the Canadian team which contradicts their

    politics. THE MAPLE LEAFS FOREVER

  • greetings toronto , this is montreal. YOU GUYS SUCK!

  • greeetings montreal good luck beating us next season since u lost all ur players

    HABS SUCK GO LEAFS GO

  • As long as we beat Montreal and Ottawa during the regular season, I am content.

    Management need to build their foundations first, maintain

    a previous winning heritage.

    With regards toward Leafs critics, I enjoy the underdogs, who can build up a dynasty out of no where.

    DETROIT "DEAD THINGS" as they were called, took 54 years,

    New York Rangers 1 Cup since 1940 in the 90,s,

    Chicago Black Hawks Goalie Glenn Hall felt his team were on the verge of a DYNASTY when they beat Detroit in 1961 for

    Cup.

  • how many comments are you going to post on this vide? honestly get a life........and also you should just face that the LEAFS FUCKING SUCK, i know it, and so does the rest of the world. ask anybody (who isn't a loser from toronto) if the leafs are any good. what do you think they'll say?

  • When you came on this site ,you invaded our house we did not invite you to come and slander our team.

    If a person breaks into my house, by God I will kill the son of a bitch,whoever threatens my family too.

    The first thing you see when you entered was the logo, of the Leafs Nation, and these Leaf fans belong to my family.

    The Habs were bankrupt, that is why George Gillette sold the Montreal Canadiens.where have you been?

    As for how many posts?

    As much as I want, this is the site of Leafs

  • are you ok? what the fuck kind of fucked up family likes the leafs...........and what kind of other losers are in your family? lol its so funny how you always freak out, and also realize the leafs suck. u should calm ur self :) peace

  • Don,t forget HABBY this is my HOME TURF- you turd, and this is where I am staying so get used it.

    Go bother an Ottawa Senator fan, they are more along your education level.

  • Hello Montreal, Going Bankrupt I hear, great way to celebrate your centennial. Maybe the Federal Government could give you a financial loan, after all you are from their favourite province. Must be nice; Winnipeg Jets- Loan, Ottawa Senators loan, In the history of the Montreal; Canadiens exceptions were granted to La Belle Province. For example; Montreal had control over the entire Province to select talent, no one else could touch and the rest of Canada/U.S. LEAFS TEAM ONTARIO TALENT- WOW
  • Leaf's 4 ever Stanley Cup will be coming home very soon

  • Yes, once the thrashers move to Hamilton, I'll be going to a LOT more games.

  • Coyotes aint a comin.. long wait,

  • Why don't you go become a fan of Nashville Predators !

  • You think thats funn but its not

  • This song makes me feel proud to be both Canadian and a leafs fan, the frogs need to stay on the other side of the pond

  • LOL the maple leafs of failure

  • yo i bet your favourite sucks more than the leafs the stupid piece of shit

  • i ment to say u

  • The Hamilton...er...Thrashers !

  • thrashers are stuck in 99 year lease...dont you mean phoenix

  • Whenever Hamilton gets an N.H.L. franchise they should do what Ottawa did, call themselves the BULLDOGS so they too can claim to be Stanley Cup Champions, despite the fact there is

    continuous link between the franchise.

    When the Leafs moved out of Maple Leaf Gardens they had an actual member of a team long ago, Ottawa emulated by having some one paid to pretend he was a former member.

  • I back your say Canuckchick52 Piss Off Habs fans Habs Suck! GO LEAFS GO!

  • Why is there so many Hab fans attacking the Leafs? Why would you watch a video about a team you hate? Seems rather pointless to me. If you're gonna say something bad about the video someone worked hard to make, next time just keep your mouth shut. Just watch the video and don't comment. At this point, I'd be happy if any Canadian team won the cup, even Ottawa. How about instead of snapping at fellow Canadians, we team up and snap at the Americans. Pull together as a country and stop bitching.

  • BEAUTIFULLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!

  • what percentage of leafs fans actually support the monarchy?

  • Why? Do you have an issue with that?? Are you offended my the Marlies...Named for the Duke of Marlborough??? What is your point???? Please do expand, I'd love to hear what your point is.

  • Conn Smythe was an avid monarchist, God Save the Queen was even sung before leafs games m, Ontario is meant to be the most loyal province to the crown yet all of that has gone down the drain in recent years. The habs clearly show their "frenchness" why doesnt the leafs show their "britishness" is what I want to know

  • Yep they show there Frenchness by Singing O Canada since the beginning (and by winning twice the amount of stanley cup and championships thenthe leaf...)

    Last time the leaf win a stanley Cup the majority of the Citizen now living in Canada were not born

    And the hockey game on television were in black and white.... ask your grand dad about it

  • Leafs Suck! Since 1967! LOSERS!!!!!!!!!

  • LOL...you will notice nothing is said about the French in this song. LMAO Is anybody surprised that we wouldn't want the rest of the world to know that that turds like habsman and jmcote exist? Dont worry, je me souvien as well frogs. MAPLE LEAF FOREVER, ANGLOPHONES FOREVER.

  • ah dude im not french and I live an hour away from toronto.

  • Good for you...cant afford the big city selling newspapers? PS...The Maple Leaf forever has nothing to do with hockey you moron...best part of you ran down your mothers asscrack, and eneded up a brown stain on the motel mattress.

  • Hey dipshit, why the personal attack? The kid offered his opinion ON THE LEAFS; nowhere did he make a personal attack toward YOU or YOUR family. People like you make it easy for the rest of the nation to hate Leaf fans.

  • How can you call me the moron when your the one who likes the leafs? BTW habs beat leafs 6-1.

  • Read above dick face...I am commenting on "The Maple Leaf Forever"...our old National Anthem...leave it up to a frenchie to not know that...you never learnt to play it on the spoons with grand pere??? LOL LOSER!!!!!

  • Love the irony and the appropriateness of your use of the word "learnt".

    Carry on, you uneducated twit.

  • Funny you can only point out I said learnt intead of learned...the facts are the facts, shut up and seperate already you fucking clown.

  • "intead"?

    Yep...uneducated, indeed.

    You're gonna have a VERY troubled life...enjoy, you poor bastard.

  • lol that was a good one i was in tears when i read it :)

  • Leaf suck

    Go Habs Go

  • What's with them breaking into "Alberta Bound" in the middle of that? That's just hilarious!

  • It's from a recording of the 48th Highlanders and Royal Canadian Regiment bands who did a set on a cross-country tour that mixed the two songs together.

  • the visual effects destroy the song

  • Go Habs

  • they should sing this at Leafs game's instead of O Canada and they should sing the real verson

  • absolutely !

  • This video sounds very anglo-saxon that roots back to the migthy and powerful imperial Britain.

  • Why is everyone here but me a lousy, lousy speller with crappy grammar?

  • GO LEAFS GO FOREVER!!!!

  • nice!

  • sweet they hav the bagpipes playing!!!!! lol

  • are you frome regina sasktchwan

  • GOD BASS THE LIFE

  • You seem like a pretty angry person. Why don't you lighten up a bit? Loyalty means you stand by your team or your family and friends in good times and bad. No need to be insulting...

  • who do you support who ever wins??? show some guts to be a true supporter there has to be bad times

  • you sock

  • cksteele is angry ex-leafs fan locked up in

    prison somewhere.

  • i the pipes and durms on tsn

  • leaf nation??? figures, torontonian losers think that toronto is the center of the universe...

  • "Leafs Nation" is the collective name of all Leaf fans everywhere. It's not exclusive to Toronto.

  • leafs suck balls

  • the leafs have won 13 cups unless ur a habs fan nobody can talk u fuckin fans of wanabe teams like;ottawa and buffalo and san jose

  • whatever losers the leafs won all there cups when there was like 6 or 8 teams in the league when it was fairly easy to win cups the leafs have the worst winning percentage post 1967 in the nhl of the original six and your team is run badly there is a better chance of every Canadian and org six team team winning a cup before you idiots you leaf fans live in a fantasy world you're all deluded idiots i actually pity you

  • leafs are the worst team in the NHL! leaf fans are retards too cuz they think every year they will win the stanley cup which will never happen cuz they cant even make playoffs... piece of shit team

  • hahahaha... loyalty is retarded?

    my iQ must be lower than my shoesize then

    the grand dragon doesn't like the leafs? i've heard worse news in my life

  • is it skill that makes a team great?

  • GO LEAFS ! ! !

  • Great video...Win or lose, Leafs all the way.

  • GO LEAFS GO

  • LOL!!!!!! Hilarious, I remember playing these tunes at the edmonton tattoo a couple years back. Black Watch, 48th Highlanders and Edmonton police pipe bands. Funny thing is you chose a pipe tune that reflects Alberta, not toronto HAHA!!! Shame on you. (second tune in there is alberta bound)

  • the 48th Highlanders have lead the leafs out to the ice in the first game of the year ever playing the maple leaf forever.

  • Yes they do, but what I was refering to is that fact that who plays ALBERTA BOUND for toronto. The dude who put this tune on the clip got it wrong!!!! LOLLL. (I wasnt refering to the 48th)

  • well if you bothered to read the comments above, you'd understand that I recognized this, but didn't want to put the boring Mormon Tabernacle Choir version, or the Anne Murray version.

  • Yes they did... but if anyone bothered to listen to my comment. Theyd understand that maple leaf forever is the unnoficial canadian anthem. So basically their playing an anthem for the country followed by alberta's song. So... the leafs are Oilers??? LOLL!!! Take it from someone who knows the tunes. And yes Ive played with the 48th.

  • "the Maple Leaf Forever" is just as much a part of the Leafs (played before EVERY home opener) as it is an unofficial Canadian anthem. If I could find this same version without "Alberta Bound" in the middle of it, I would've used it. The other versions of this song were too slow/boring. And yes, the Leafs would be the Oilers if you took away 7 cups LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!1111

  • the maple leaf for ever was the anthum till we got o canada my good sir :) it was playd back when we had the red ensign as out flag

  • Great Tribute !!! GO LEAFS GO !!!

  • okay vidoe mmh..anyways go leafs go

  • Fuck off Johnny, that is a great video! GO LEAFS GO!

  • You stain this beautiful song with your crappy team.

  • true dat, i can play this on the pipes and when you have a whole p&d circle playing this and your in the middle, the feeling is amazing

  • Hey Johnny, do you know they the bring in 48th Highlands to perform this song every opening night since the 1927 but just a idioit hab fan.

  • Borje Salming in the box? Cool pic because most don't know he was as tough as they come. "Chicken Swede" gives the lie to Don Cherry. And yes, as to the Original Six (Ottawa doesn't count) we're still ahead of Chicago lol.

  • Friends don't let friends become Habs fans!!!

  • LOL. nice. I saw a shirt that said "this is your brain" and showed the TML logo then said "this is your brain on drugs" and showed the habs logo lol.

  • The recording played is of the 48th Highlnders of Canada. They play for the opening ceromonies of the first Leafs game of every season. They are also one of the oldest Canadian regiments and subsequentially faught at the battle of Vimy ridge as did Con Smythe who founded the Maple Leafs.

  • They are jst as old if not younger then most of the Canadian Infantry Regiments, notice the 48 in their title. they are ranked 29th in the order of predidence. they are less the 120 years old and as far as infantry regiments o in Canada thatis young

  • everyone says the Leafs haven't won the cup for 40 years...what about the Blackhawks? their last Stanley Cup win was in 1961...or better yet, the Sens, their last win was in 1927!

  • terribly dreadful sport but awesome song

  • Great vid. Love that song.

  • Ahh, Best Team Ever, GO LEAFS GO, hopefully, we can make the cup =)

  • never its been 40 years since 1967. they'll never win it again

  • when will they win the cup :(

  • never ! :P

  • never. its been 40 years and it will take another 40 years

  • go beat your wife like your hero

  • To answer your question, your dam right I bleed blue and white, Go Leafs Go and as the song says the Maple Leafs are forever not to mention the best NHL team.

  • bullshit. They havent won since the original six.  1967

  • Great vid man I played this song yesterday at a performance for Air Cadets.

  • Imma Make another Leaf Tribute video soon:D

  • Why is Alberta Bound being played in the middle of the song? :) But either way good to see you supporting your hockey team.

  • I thought about that myself, but it was between this version of the song, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir version, and *shudders* Anne Murray...

  • eww anne murray. her christmas specials haunt me to this day. i'd rather listen to bagpipes over her any day.

    what a hoser.

  • Awesome video! GO LEAFS GO!

  • Nice Video

    ThumbsUp

  • Nice Video

  • thanks! I was  feeling upset over the abundance of anti-Leaf videos on youtube.. so I thought I'd post another one up for the good guys =)

  • Awesome video, it was giving me chills. Great work!
