He was quite a character none of us will never see the likes of again but he certainly almost destroyed that team that had done a lot for Hockey in this country.
We have released the second teaser for the film. Based off of the responses we receive, we will determine the project's outcome. So please take a look:
I feel terrible for Leafs fans that had to endure years of ownership by this selfish bastard. The NHL needs to set rules by which owners can control their teams in terms of how they decide who to put in as front office staff, etc. He purposefully and without reason put them in a rebuidling state for I don't know how long. As a Sharks fan, people like Ballard are a reason I am glad my team is not privately owned.
This is so fitting, screwed the fans then - and we still get screwed today. The company makes so much money, why build a winner when the seats are full?. He used the money that good honest, hard working people made, and paid for tickets - on renovating his home. What a joke. Yet everyone still flocks to watch the leafs, win or loose - no questions asked.
Harold Ballard. The NHL Toronto Maple Leafs' answer to the odorous Mr. Potter character from It's A Wonderful Life with James Stewart. He screwed the Toronto franchise since they won their last Stanley Cup in 1967. Maybe even before that. Bully, tyrant, crook, misogynist, and downright idiot! Toronto hockey fans had many reasons to hate Ballard.
In as sense,the Leaf fans in Toronto were every bit as much to blame because they all jam-packed Maple Leaf Gardens night after night and Harold Ballard's logic was that he didn't need to assemble a Stanley Cup contender in that case.Maybe if they had boycotted the games the franchise wouldn't have ended up in such disarray.
Harold Ballard was a business man and nobody likes a Business man he ran his team the way he wanted to he also owned a CFL team Hamilton Tiger-Cats and got a CFL championship with them and 4 Stanley Cups i respect what he done as a owner. He was not in that business to make friends he was there run a team and you done it his way or no way and i would rether have no other owner then him.
@patsman191 Yeah he won 4 stanley Cups as a partial owner. But when he bacame GM the leafs werent any better than they were today. He put that team and it's fans through hell. He ran that team only with his ego. He was a menace, putting customers and fans through hell just to make a couple extra bucks. Take the time to research him and see how much of a monster he was! He is a thief and a child molester, and without a doubt burning in hell as we speak!
You guys have no idea how bad he was...members of my family knew him and still know his kids...enough said.
Trust me, every bad thing you hear about this guy in the media has been relayed and confirmed to me before...as mean as they come. If he lived in another country, he would have been a dictator.
Plus he was apparently had knowledge that some Maple Leaf Garden staff were molesting kids. It's even been said that he himself might have molested kids. I'm not a Leaf fan but that's a helluva legacy to leave TO.
Miserable to say the least. Cynical, mean spirited and just plain mean. I don't usually speak ill of the dead but I hope there's a place in hell for that man. Trading McDonald in 1979 cost the Leafs a potential near future cup run and opened the doors to those horrible 1980s teams.
Is it true that when Ballard got fired or left ( or how ever he left the Leafs ), did he say that they will never win a cup again. My friend told me that cus when he was around at that time, but cant seem to find a quote of it.
BTW I wish the Leafs just made a New Maple Leafs Garden just like the Yankees are doing. The ACC is boring and dull as it can be.
