Two Canadian institutions will come together next week when The Tragically Hip play a free concert in the run-up to the Maple Leafs-Canadiens season opener.

The Hip’s 45-minute show will take place in Yonge-Dundas Square on Wednesday, Oct. 8 at 6:30 p.m., according to an announcement on the band’s website.

Portions of the concert will also be featured in Sportsnet’s national broadcast of the game.

The show is part of the NHL Face-Off event, which starts at noon in Yonge-Dundas Square with NHL alumni, special guests, and giveaways, rain or shine.
