Darryl Sittler was the face of the Toronto Maple Leafs during the 1970s and remains one of the franchise’s most iconic players. A powerful center with soft hands and strong leadership, Sittler combined skill, toughness, and heart in every shift. He is best known for setting the NHL single-game record with 10 points in 1976—an achievement that still stands.
As team captain, he consistently led by example, producing multiple 100-point seasons and delivering in clutch moments, including dramatic playoff performances. Sittler’s passion for the game and loyalty to Toronto made him a fan favorite. His influence extended beyond the ice as he remained involved with the team and community long after his playing days.
With over 1,100 career points and a lasting legacy, Sittler was rightfully inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1989.
