The Toronto Predators are a Canadian Junior ice hockey team based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. They play in the Greater Metro Junior A Hockey League. ==History== The Toronto Predators joined the GMHL as an expansion franchise in February of 2013. Founded by Allan Donnan, the Predators call the historic Maple Leaf Gardens (now known as Mattamy Athletic Center) home. The Predators played their first-ever game on September 7, 2013, at home, against the Orangeville Americans. Hockey Hall of Famers Ken Dryden and Darryl Sittler, and singer John McDermott did the opening puck drop, as the Americans won the game 4-2. Mitch Hebert scored the first goal in team history, just five seconds into the game, while goaltender Marc Villeneuve made 49 saves in a losing effort. On September 28, 2013, Robin Bonvin scored in overtime to give the Predators their first franchise victory. Playing on home ice, Marc Villeneuve made 58 saves in net, against the Knights of Meaford, in the 3-2 victory. Mitch Hebert scored a franchise record four goals on October 27, 2013, against the Powassan Eagles. Hebert was the first Predator to notch a hat trick. After their inaugural season the Predators were taken over by Robert Turnbull. A longtime Hamilton Red Wings (1999-2014) GM and team president, Turnbull took over from previous owner Allan Donnan (who owns Toronto Attack). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Toronto Predators」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
