With the Raptors set to return to action on Boxing Day, we look back at Toronto's first major league basketball team.

Given that basketball was invented by a native of the Great White North, perhaps the fates were at work when the first game of the league that would become the National Basketball Association was played in Toronto on November 1, 1946. That distinction would be one of the few highlights of the short existence of the Toronto Huskies. Poor personnel decisions, a problematic star attraction, and lousy gate receipts all proceeded to sink big-time basketball before it could establish itself in Toronto.

On the afternoon of July 6, 1936, angry citizens of York Township stormed the local relief office and occupied the building. They held the township's relief officer and later the township's Reeve as their prisoners, along with several employees of the relief office. The crowd's demands? That relief in the township be restored to its earlier levels, so that the unemployed and impoverished of York need not live in the newly-erected tent village.
