Ron Ellis played 1,034 Games in the National Hockey League, all of which were in the blue and white of the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Ellis played in one game in the 1963-64 Season and was then a fixture at Right Wing for years to come.  Aiding the Maple Leafs in securing the 1967 Stanley Cup, Ellis had at least 42 Points each year from 1965-66 to 1974-75, with the last year seeing Ellis score a career-high 61 Points.  Ellis abruptly retired after that year, allegedly upset that he was passed over for the captaincy for Darryl Sittler.  That lasted two seasons before he returned for three more years, retiring after the 1980-81 Season with 640 career Points.
