Tyler Toffoli (full name) was born on april 24th 1992 (old) in scarborough ontario canada. He has two older sisters, his dad also was the general manager of the toronto jr. canadiens where toff also played during that same time. (Wikipedia contributors, 2026)

even with a gm as a dad he didnt grow up with a lot of wealth and was financially supported and sponsored by harvey sharpiro who had a kid the same age who toff was friends with and so noticed how good he was as a kid. (Godin, 2020).

even at this time he was known to be very laid back.

“Tyler is a quiet kid, but he’s a competitive kid,” Rob Toffoli said. “He’s competitive, but you wouldn’t know that because Tyler is a very laid-back guy. He’ll talk to anybody, he’ll help people, he’ll see people after games if he’s needed or whatever.”

in the 2008 OHL draft he was picked 7th overall by the ottawa 67s, he was named part of the first all star rookie team that year. in 2010 he was drafted by the kings 47th overall.

he played in manch for the monarchs (kings ahl team) for a good bit, he didnt make his nhl debut until 2013, which was actually against the sharks where he also scored his first goal. that year he also won the AHL rookie of the year award!

that year he also made his stanley cup playoff debut in game 5 against the blues but didnt play much more that season. until the 13-14 season, he started that year in manch again but got permanently called up in november. that year he was a big part of the kings playoff run and assisted on the cup winning goal !!

during his time w the kings he was apart of the 'that 70's line' which was a line w jeff carter, tanner pearson and toff, they were nicknamed this because they all wore 70's numbers and they were soooo good and so fun.

the that 70's line in 2014 LA that consisted of him, jeff carter and tanner pearson that was that important it has a wiki article about it were toff was described as the happy go lucky one (article source)

talking abt them, him and tanner pearson were boy best friends who actually disliked eachother when they were rivals in the OHL

and then both got drafted by LA and were at eachother's wedding at posed like this during it bc theyre normal.

they were at mach and the kings together and then both got traded to the canucks (toff for like 10 games) after so they played together for ages and they love eachother and I feel like this gets forgotten, anyway hes w buffalo now and also unsigned and mike grier are you listening!!

the third part of the that 70's line is jef carter, important about that is him and mike richards (I made a richiecarts primer a while ago go read that) but its important to understand how crazy richiecarts was because toff was cart's rookie, that was his guy, he grew up in the nhl with one of the most insane duo's in hockey history like nothing weirdo gay will ever shock toff.

he was raised by a man who had threesomes w his captain and wore black armbands bc his favorite bar closed like toff GETS it and can handle whatever, those weirdo shark children are nothing compared to what toff has seen.

when he was with the kings he also got the cupcake nickname when he was with LA because he did promo for a local cupcake place (article source)

during his time w the kings he did SO much promo he was very well loved w the media and there's a bunch of fun video's and articles you can find about him doing fun stuff.

he also played for team canada at the world championships in 2015 and won gold with them!

in june 2018 he got married to cat belanger! and I love them sm they're so fun together, cat has a podcast that is very sweet and they have a lil dog and I just really love them. I cant really find out when they got together but I did some cat insta stalking n the oldest picture I can find of them together is from around 2015.

then in 2020 toff was traded to the canucks (AFTER TEN YEARS!!!!!!! I will never forgive them)

he only played for 10 games bc covid season and then he got injured but in those 10 games he put up 10 point bc hes just goated like that

important to remember how loved he still was by his teammates even after he was traded

then in october 2020 he was traded to the habs. he was goated and loved here sm. he became really close with the habs players especially nick who he actually says is the reason he wanted to join the habs

he's still friends with a good few of the guys and was very loved and respected.

recently cat even got carey price so far as to show up on her podcast which says a lot abt how good their friendship is. with this team he also got to the stanley cup finals which they lost to the lighting.

then as part of the hab rebuild toff was traded to the flames in feb 2022

the flames were really not that good but toff had a new career high so ig some things are good in the world.

in june 2023 toff had reportedly requested a trade. at this time he was traded to the devils where he played for one season and scored 44 points in 61 games.

in the off season of 2023 he played in the world championships and captained the team to a gold medal!

in march 2024 he was traded to the jets and in july 2024 finally he was traded to the sharks we're hes been since and where he is on year 3 of a four year contract.

he is someone's who's always worn pride tape and joined in on pride nights and pride events with multiple of the teams hes been with using pride tape since he was with the kings.

anyway, idk what else to say, yall know the modern toff lore, he's old man buddies w the sharks kids. hes fun, hes our alternate captain, hes our toff and I need him to retire a shark for my own mental wellbeing.
