The merchandise maker collaborated with all 32 NHL clubs so they all have a similar design except for color and logo. Below is the Toronto Maple Leafs’ belt.

The belt features the Leafs logo at the front on top of an ice pad. The WWE logo is located at the very top of the belt. It also includes Leafs logos as the side plates and an additional Eastern Conference logo on the strap.
The belt itself looks decent enough. But it’s the price that may make Leafs fans’ eyes water. The checkout price before taxes comes to $886 Canadian before taxes. If you are from Ontario, it’ll cost you $1000.
Fanatics listed the belt as a “special event” item so its high price tag may be due to its exclusivity.
The Leafs are no stranger to championship belts. A custom Leafs belt was gifted to Maple Leafs defenseman Morgan Rielly by now former WWE star Edge (currently Adam Copeland in AEW) before a WWE Raw taping in August of 2022.
Since then, the Leafs have been awarding that belt to the team’s player of the game following a win.

This tradition was replaced during the playoffs with the typical tradition of putting the game puck into a puzzle with 16 holes, one for every win required to take home the Stanley Cup.
In June, Fanatics and the NHL got together for a brand new Stanley Cup belt.
After the Florida Panthers won the Stanley Cup, players like Matthew Tkachuk were seen wearing it, fully equipped with the team’s logo on the side.
Would you spend nearly $1000 Canadian on a Leafs belt?
