"The Maple Leafs say that the name was chosen in honour of the Maple Leaf Regiment from World War I."
Since they are named after a group and not a thing (Maple Leaf), the plural of their name is Maple Leafs.
Personally, I think they should rename the team to "The Team That Will Never Win The Stanley Cup" and then they could avoid grammar problems altogether.
I could be wrong, but I think this person has been approached to be the Leaf's team manager next year:

They are named after an elite group of elite Canadian soldiers that fought in World War 1 called the Maple Leaf Regiment.
