The team is named after the Canadian flag which has a Maple Leaf on it. The nickname "The Buds" fits because leaves on trees come from buds! Hey it's more accurate than calling them "The Leafs" which of course is grammatically incorrect!
Go Leaves Go!

It really is a pot reference! It has nothing to do with trees and leaves, other that pot leaves!
