Today the Maple Leafs announced that the scrimmage game set for Saturday night will be televised.
The game will be on both TSN and Sportsnet at 7 p.m. on Saturday, January 9. The expectation is that the main Leafs group at camp will be split up and augmented by the second group like they did for a more informal scrimmage this week.
They’ve got a guy you may have heard of, Joe Bowen, to call the game. And while it’s aired on television, it’s being produced by the Leafs and MLSE. Cheryl Pounder will do the colour, she is a former Olympian and CWHL player, and she has done colour on CBC’s coverage of the Olympics.
