On this day in Leafs history:
Carlton the Bear (pictured here with In-Arena Host Christine Simpson) made his Leafs regular season debut on October 10, 1995, in a 7-3 victory over the Islanders.
Carlton made his first public appearance on July 29th of the same year. Carlton was given his name and number as a tribute to the address of Maple Leaf Gardens, which is of course 60 Carlton St.
