On behalf of the Toronto Maple Leafs Hockey Club and Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, thank you to all who made the first ever Canadian Women’s Hockey League All Star Game memorable. We gathered to cheer on the stars of Women’s Hockey. But most importantly, we celebrated these women as tremendous athletes and role models for girls and boys across North America and the world.

Our Hockey Club is proud to invest in the growth of the game we play. Last year alone we helped train 500 new Hockey Coaches through our development programming and reached 36,700 young fans through our hockey clinic and community event initiatives. Also, along with the Toronto Furies from the CWHL, we continue to be a leading supporter of grass-roots girls hockey, through the Scotiabank Girls Hockey Fest.

By making these investments in the community and by hosting the CWHL All Start Game at Air Canada Center, we believe we can empower young girls in Toronto – and across Canada – to take up the game we all love. We are proud of our partnership with the Canadian Women’s Hockey League and we look forward to playing a key role in the growth of hockey.

Don’t forget to join us as we celebrate women’s hockey with the Toronto Marlies at Women’s Hockey Day on March 28th at Ricoh Coliseum: http://www.ticketmaster.ca/Ricoh-Coliseum-tickets-Toronto/venue/131553.
