The Toronto Maple Leafs now own the record for the NHL’s longest Stanley Cup drought

The Toronto Maple Leafs have made history.
It’s been 19,786 days since the Leafs last won a Stanley Cup. That’s now the longest drought in NHL history. The honour was previously held by the New York Rangers, who went from 1940 to 1994 without a Stanley Cup.

On the bright side for the Leafs, the team still has a long way to go before setting a record for the longest championship drought among major North American sports teams. The Chicago Cubs finally ended a legendary 108-year drought when they won the World Series in 2016, their first title since 1908.
