After the 1985–86 season, the Toronto Maple Leafs moved their top affiliate from St. Catharines to the Twinney Complex, a recently built arena north of Toronto.

However, the Twinney Complex was nowhere near adequate for an AHL team, and Newmarket itself was too small at the time for the team to be viable. These factors, combined with the team being barely competitive (only one winning season), led the Leafs to move the Saints to St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador for the 1991–92 season where they became the St. John's Maple Leafs. The void in Newmarket would be filled by the Newmarket Royals, of the OHL.
