It’s St. Patrick’s Day! The Maple Leafs will have their traditional St. Pat’s gear on for tonight’s game against the Carolina Hurricanes. We’ll have a preview of the game out later this morning.

The Marlies are hosting the Hurricanes Panthers AHL affiliates the Charlotte Checkers this afternoon at 1:30 p.m. at the Scotiabank Arena which sounds odd for a Friday, but if you have kids you know it’s March Break and that’s why. They will play again tomorrow at the Coliseum at the usual 4:00 p.m. start time. The Marlies are still holding on to the first place in the AHL North Division.

The traditional St. Patrick’s Day parade will shut part of downtown tomorrow mid-day. including all of Bloor east of St. George, Yonge from Bloor to Queen, and Queen from Yonge to York.
