MEDIA ADVISORY: Toronto Maple Leafs and Sport Chek to host Outdoor Practice
WHAT:
The
Toronto Maple Leafs and Sport Chek will host celebration of hockey that will surprise
a local minor league hockey team with the chance to live like a pro.
Minor bantam AA team, Ted Reeve Thunder was randomly selected from the Sport
Chek Team Assist program and will learn from past and present Leafs about what
it takes to be a professional hockey player.
The day will start at the newly-renovated Greenwood Park outdoor rink with Ted
Reeve Thunder players participating in the Train like a Pro session with
Leafs legend Wendel Clark. They will then have the opportunity to watch
and learn from select members of the current Toronto Maple Leaf roster as they
host an outdoor practice.
Greenwood Park is a recent recipient of the $300,000 investment from the MLSE
Foundation. Last year, the City of Toronto with support of the MLSE
Foundation completed a renovation that saw significant upgrades to the change
rooms, pad, rinkboards and refrigeration system. A skate trail and roof
were added making it Toronto’s first covered rink.
Leafs alumni and former Olympians, Curtis
Joseph and Shayne Corson will also be on hand to sign autographs and meet with
spectators.
