In the wake of the hate crime in June that devastated the community, and the country, the Toronto Raptors and Toronto Maple Leafs Alumni will travel to London, Ontario in October to hold two events as a show of support to stand against hate anywhere and everywhere, and to use the power that sport has to bring people together.
As part of the team’s pre-season, and its return to play in Canada, the Raptors will hold its annual open practice at London’s Budweiser Gardens on Saturday, October 2nd. On Sunday, October 3rd, the Leafs Alumni will face each other in a game and will include Wendel Clark, Darcy Tucker, Tomáš Kaberle, Nik Antropov, Rick Vaive and many more former members of the Maple Leafs.
