Toronto Maple Leafs’ outdoor practice returns on January 27 to a new location.
The event at the Prince of Wales rink in Mimico (Etobicoke), presented by Sport Chek, is part of a weekend filled with community-focused activities celebrating local fans. This marks the first time the practice will take place at this venue, reflecting the team’s dedication to engaging with neighbourhoods across Toronto.
“There’s something magical about playing outdoors at local rinks, just as many of us did when we first fell in love with the game,” said Brendan Shanahan, the team’s president and alternate governor, highlighting the significance of the tradition.
“For me, growing up in the neighbourhood, the Prince of Wales rink—with its view of the Toronto skyline and the howling winds off Lake Ontario—holds a special place in my heart.”
The weekend lineup features a variety of activities. Fans can attend viewing parties for the Toronto Maple Leafs and Toronto Sceptres games, enjoy free skate rentals, and meet Maple Leafs alumni. A special alumni game and a showcase by the Canadian Blind Hockey Association will also be part of the programming.
