Finally, October 15 is the Home Opener against the Boston Bruins. The game is set for 7:00PM, but the team is asking that all fans be in their seats for 5:30PM, as the national broadcast of the ceremonies begins at 6:00PM and we want the country to see a full Air Canada Centre.
These three events are just a kick-off to the many that will occur over the course of the 99th season and the year leading up to the 100th anniversary of the franchise on December 17, 2017.
