DevinSome like to think the founder was Conn Smythe. He was the one who changed the team's name to Toronto Maple Leafs. The team however had been around for a decade before he bought them.

Was the Toronto raptors first called the Toronto huskies?
The Toronto Huskies were a founding member of the NBA and they played host to the New York Knicks at the first NBA game at Maple Leaf Gardens in 1946. They folded at the end of the season however, playing only 1 total season in the newly formed BAA. The Toronto Raptors was Toronto's second professional basketball/NBA team. The team was formed in 1995 and named after a popular movie at the time, Jurassic Park. They bear no relation to the Huskies other then the fact that both teams played in Toronto and that both shared a building with the NHL club, the Toronto Maple Leafs. There is a grass roots movement to rename the Raptors the Huskies by some fans of the franchise however. I doubt it will get far though.
