Paul Morris, who served as the Toronto Maple Leafs PA announcer for 38 years, has passed away at the age of 86 following a lengthy illness. Morris spent his career at Maple Leaf Gardens, famously announcing the Maple Leafs' last Stanley Cup victory in 1967. His deep connection to the Gardens stemmed from his family's history with the venue, including his father's role as chief technician. Morris's career began with junior Marlies in 1958, and he became the Leafs' PA announcer in 1961, retiring at the end of the 1998-99 season.
Clarence Campbell, the president of the National Hockey League, will now present the Stanley Cup to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
