I don’t know about anyone else, but this off-season seemed like it must have set a record for the longest off-season ever. Longer even than any full season lockout. Even earlier this week, it seemed like we were still a long way from seeing any hockey again.
Well, suddenly it’s Labour Day weekend, and hockey is quite literally right around the corner. It’s not regular season hockey, mind you. It’s not even pre-season exhibition games with at least some NHLers.
But on Tuesday September 6th, right after Labour Day itself, the Leafs have their first Traverse City Rookie Tournament game.
