Maple Leafs seeks injunction over Ryerson plan for Maple Leaf Gardens

This is silly. Maple Leaf Gardens was sold with the name. Absent some express term as to use (and quaere if such a restrictive covenant would be lawful anyway) having hockey in the building is lawful. Besides, who would want to be confused with the Leafs anyway???

Maple Leaf Gardens, site of many historic clashes between hockey's greatest teams, is now at the centre of a battle of its own.

On one side is Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, the sports empire that owns four professional franchises and an NHL arena, known for zealously protecting its brand. On the other is Ryerson University, which is turning the Toronto Maple Leafs' storied former home into an arena for its own team.
