It has been confirmed and is now official. 

According to many insiders across the National Hockey League, especially in Canada, the league has an agreement in place with British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec to allow all seven teams north of the border to play in their home rinks when the season gets under way on Jan. 13.

We are getting our all-Canadian Northern division! 


There was some concern ever since it was unsure if Ontario would give its permission to host game within its borders as the province was pushing back on the Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators, and British Columbia hadn’t been willing to give the go-ahead to the Vancouver Canucks. 

Finally, the green light is flashing like a Christmas tree as the five provinces told the league that if they made small changes to their test procedures then the teams would be free to play in their own rinks.

As the official schedule shows, the Maple Leafs will therefore open their season at their Scotiabank Arena against the Montreal Canadiens on opening night while the Vancouver Canucks will face the Edmonton Oilers.

Merry Christmas, eh?
