September is a jam packed month when it comes to hockey in the city of Toronto. Not only does the GTHL kick-off its regular season, but there are also countless tournaments and hockey related events to check out.
Toronto Titans International Minor Midget Prospects Tournament
September 7 – 11, Scotiabank Pond
Entering its 9th annual year, the Toronto Titans Minor Midget Prospects Tournament will feature minor midget AAA teams from across Ontario and the northern United States. Toronto Titans GM Eric Cella told the Hockey Writers that the tournament has become heavily recruited, observing that there’s often more scouts than parents in the crowd. Most GTHL AAA clubs are scheduled to compete.
The Hockey Show Toronto
September 10 – 11, Downsview Park
While you’re in-between games at the Titans tournament, head across the street to the Hockey Show Toronto to pick up all your hockey necessities. The one-of-a-kind trade show will include product demonstrations, a speaker series, interactive exhibits, and the latest in hockey apparel. Tickets can be purchased here.
