|} The 1944-1945 Toronto Maple Leafs season was the Toronto-based franchise's twenty-eighth season in the National Hockey League, and eighteenth as the Maple Leafs. The Maple Leafs had a mediocre regular season, barely finishing above the .500 mark in wins with 24. Finishing third out of six, the Maple Leafs struggled to maintain any momentum during the season. However, after entering the Stanley Cup playoffs, the Maple Leafs began a streak of surprisingly solid play, eventually winning the NHL championship and the Stanley Cup with it.
