It’s the first sign of the new season getting started - the annual rookie tournament.
This year’s tournament is being held in home territory, hosted by Belleville. Apart from the location, there are some other changes for this year’s edition. The Maple Leafs have opted to participate in the Traverse City Prospect Tournament this year, with the Winnipeg Jets joining the Montreal Canadiens and the Sens in this one. There are also four games on the schedule this year, with the Sens and Jets playing each other twice. The first of those is tonight, the second is on Monday, and the Sens play the Habs on Saturday.
