The hockey world and Toronto Maple Leafs of the NHL mourn the tragic loss of a legend, Paul Morris, who has sadly passed away at the age of 86, announced by the Maple Leafs on Monday
Morris had an iconic voice for the Toronto Maple Leaf after four decades with the organization, which ended in 1999.
Between 1961 and 1999, Morris served as the voice for the Leafs, one of the most storied original six franchises.
We are saddened to share that longtime Maple Leafs PA Announcer Paul Morris has passed away at 86.
The voice of Maple Leaf Gardens for decades, Paul never missed a game from 1961 to 1999. He called the final game at the Gardens and was the first voice at Scotiabank Arena. More than an announcer, Paul was part of Leafs history. His voice and legacy will forever echo in Leafs Nation.

While the Maple Leafs may not have had great success in this era of NHL hockey, their last Stanley Cup win in 1967 was called by Morris.
I'm saddened to learn of the passing of Paul Morris, legendary Maple Leafs PA announcer.
I only met him once, but he was clearly a very kind man, who loved what he did.
His was the voice I grew up hearing on Saturday nights sitting alongside my Grandpa.
RIP Mr. Morris

A wonderful man, fountain of Gardens history and whose cadence was the soundtrack to many generations of Leaf fans:
