History
Early years
The Greater Toronto Hockey League was founded in 1911 by Frank D. Smith. Smith was 17 years old when he founded the organization, and would continue to oversee the operation for 50 years. He was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1962 in part for his contributions to minor hockey in Toronto. Then called the Beaches League, its first season consisted of 5 teams and 99 players
The League's name underwent several changes over its history. Originally called the Beaches League, it was renamed to the Toronto Hockey League shortly after its inception. It was renamed again in 1972 to the Metropolitan Toronto Hockey League before settling on the current Greater Toronto Hockey League moniker in 1998. The League saw increases in membership during its first few years. During World War I, the then THL maintained its numbers due to having younger age divisions, such as pewee and bantam, where the players were too young to participate in the war. By the 1960s, The THL had over 20,000 members on teams across Toronto.
