After the 1974-75 season, Ellis abruptly retired, stating that he no longer had the passion for the game. The passion would return, as Ellis joined Team Canada in the 1977 World Hockey Championship and then return to play four more seasons as a Toronto Maple Leaf. Ellis ranks in the top 5 in career goals, 332, and games played, 1034, for the Toronto franchise.
