✅ The Story Behind the Artwork

Maple Leaf Gardens, designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 2007, stands as one of the most iconic “shrines” in hockey history-once the largest arena in the country and a stage for legendary moments. From unforgettable NHL battles to concerts, operas, rallies, political gatherings, and even the monumental Muhammad Ali-George Chuvalo fight, the Gardens has welcomed generations of cultural giants and everyday fans alike.

This artwork captures the building’s timeless façade, contrasted with the flowing curves of Toronto’s contemporary skyline. Each line and texture reflects a story: of triumph, community, and the countless footsteps that once filled its halls. The streetcar passing in the foreground symbolizes continuity-a city still in motion, honouring its history with every turn.
