The manuscript lists the officers of Maples Leaf Gardens Limited, the directors of the Maple Leaf Hockey Club Limited, and the sub-contractors engaged in The Gardens' construction. It provides a basic description of the building's construction and features, the method ice making, and other included facilities. The manuscript mentions the unique method wage payment for the unionized site workmen being partially by stock "in the venture".

The typeface on the four manuscript pages is faint while the envelope has darker typeface. This could be due to a new ribbon having been inserted into the typewriter. Page four has a handwritten notation and is a carbon copy of its original, perhaps included in error.

Entitled, "Maple Leaf Gardens, Toronto's New Sports Centre," the document offers information relevant to the sale of $700,000 in stocks, including the price per share, land and building information, other attractions besides hockey to be billeted, expected earnings, etc.

The series consists of the following.

• Four daily newspapers, September 21, 1931 : The Globe ; The Mail and Empire ; The Evening Telegram ; The Toronto Daily Star
• A four-page, typewritten manuscript and envelope likely from the directors of Maple Leaf Hockey Club
• A four-page stock prospectus
• A miniature Canadian Red Ensign flag
• An ivory elephant pendant with blue ribbon fragments
• 1930-1931 Official Rule Book, National Hockey League (NHL)
• 1930-1931 Ontario Hockey Association Rules (OHA)
• 1931 Official Hockey Rules, Canadian Amateur Hockey Association (CAHA)
• 1931 Toronto Municipal Handbook

The pocket-sized booklet with a light brown cover has 49 pages and was used as an easy reference guide to rules and penalties set out by the NHL for spectators. It includes past championships, divisional game statistics, hockey player statistics, and the NHL game schedule for the 1930-1931 season.

The miniature flag is a representation of the Canadian flag at the time capsule was installed. It is the British red ensign which features the Union Jack in the upper corner (the canton), while the shield of the coat of arms of Canada made it distinctly Canadian.

The small elephant pendant is a mystery as to its relevance to Maple Leaf Gardens or the Toronto Maple Leafs Hockey Club. The fragmented blue ribbon suggests the pendant was originally hanging from it.
