Luke Haymes is active with the Toronto Maple Leafs organization, with recent reporting indicating he was recalled and made his NHL debut for Toronto in April 2026, after spending the season with the AHL’s Marlies. This marks a progression from college hockey to the NHL within the Maple Leafs system. [source coverage includes The Hockey News and CBS Sports reports from early April 2026][1][2][4]

Prior to his NHL debut, Haymes posted solid numbers with the Marlies (roughly mid- to upper-teens in goals and points over a 60+ game span), contributing as a middle-six center and showing speed and faceoff ability that teams value for bottom-six roles.[4][1]
-
His signing history with the Maple Leafs includes a two-year contract starting in 2025–26 after his NCAA tenure at Dartmouth, which positioned him for AHL play with the Marlies before potential NHL opportunities.[6][9]
