No, the Leafs aren’t launching an attack on education or creating much of a real stink, but they became the target of what equates to a librarian’s diss track on Wednesday afternoon ahead of a pivotal Game 2 in their second-round series against the Florida Panthers.

Justin Bieber might be one of the world's most famous people, but his Toronto Maple Leafs fandom appears to come first.

The Toronto Maple Leafs might not ever seem to have the hockey gods in their corner, but they'll always have one thing most teams don't: Justin Bieber cheering them on. For Bieber, a longtime friend of several Leafs players (most notably Auston Matthews), a die-hard fan of the team, a celebrity team captain at the 2024 NHL All-Star Game in Toronto, and a collaborator on an official alternate jersey with the team, showing his support to Toronto isn't exactly new.
