When the Toronto Maple Leafs schedule was released for the 2021-22 season there was a matinee away game scheduled for March 13th at 3:00PM vs the Buffalo Sabres. This isn’t news in itself, aside from the Maple Leafs rarely playing matinee games.
Today Lance Hornby of the Toronto Sun reported that this game will not be played in Buffalo, as most games against the Sabres are, but played outdoors on our side of the border, at the home of the CFL Hamilton Tiger-Cats and CPL Forge FC, Tim Hortons Field in Hamilton.
The story came about after a Sabres fan twitter account noted the game was not part of the season ticket package:
