The Toronto PWHL, the Marlies and the Maple Leafs are all have games today on a busy hockey Saturday. Here's the schedule for today:

Toronto PWHL @ Ottawa PWHL: 3:30 p.m.  
Toronto Marlies vs. Syracuse Crunch: 4:00 p.m.  
Toronto Maple Leafs vs. New York Rangers at 7:00 p.m.

We'll have our preview of the Leafs vs. Rangers game out later this morning.

The Marlies faced the Crunch last night who beat them 3-2 in Syracuse, but there was a first time AHL goal by #81 Jonny Tychonik who has worked his way up from the Newfoundland Growlers this season. *\[Movie trailer voice\] "He's got 81 gigabytes of hockey data downloaded into his brain."*

The Leafs had a practice yesterday and there were reactions to the trade late Thursday night that has brought defenceman Ilya Lyubushkin returning to the Maple Leafs for a second time.

If you like goalie mask artwork, this guy is a pro.

> Cool moment for those who watched the Flames’ 2004 playoff run, as this is the kid from the crowd they used to call Mini Kipper. His name is Brendan Peters and he now paints goalie masks for a living. Today he presented his idol w a mask he made for him.

Speaking of masks, there's also non-pros.

> Lukas Dostal's mask tonight was designed by a local elementary school student, Viena G, who won a contest where kids submitted designs that "reflect their own lives and tell their Hockey is for Everyone story." 🥹
