Toronto Marlies News Release
A proud member of the American Hockey League, the Toronto Marlies travel to York University to continue their series of community practices in an effort to connect with minor hockey teams throughout the GTA starting at 5:15 p.m. on Monday, November 10 at the Canlan Sports Arena. A number of minor hockey level players from the North York Knights will watch as coaches Greg Gilbert, Doug Gilmour and Joe Paterson lead the Marlies through a legitimate pro hockey practice. With 15 minutes remaining in the session, one team will take to the ice and join the entire Marlies team in interactive and challenging drills aimed at helping young players improve their skills. Toronto Marlies Mascot, Duke the Dog will also be in attendance at the event.
The Marlies will leave the ice surface at 6:15 p.m., to participate in a team autograph signing session. This will be the third of five planned Marlies practices that will be held around the Toronto area this season. The Marlies will trek to Heron Park Arena in West Hills on Tuesday, December 9 and to the East York Memorial Arena on Monday, February 2 for their last two community practices of the season.
The Marlies begin a five-game road swing this Saturday when they travel to Hamilton to take on their QEW-rival, the Bulldogs - AHL affiliate of the Montreal Canadiens - at Copps Coliseum at 7:00 p.m. Fans can listen to all Toronto Marlies regular season games on THE FAN 590 or fan590.com.
