Edmonton doesn’t. - URL: https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/toronto-maple-leafs-news-nhl-news-2022-world-juniors-scores/ - Published: 2022-08-10T10:06:16.000Z - Updated: 2022-08-10T10:06:16.000Z - Description: No one wants to go to a scandal plagued hockey tournament in August? Huh. - Author: Adam Selvig - Tags: From The Branches, #chorus, #Import 2023-04-05 11:15 Good morning Toronto Maple Leafs fans! It’s the middle of August, baseball playoff races are heating up, we’re looking forward to training camps opening for various hockey leagues, and overall it’s pretty nice out. Oh, and there’s a major international hockey tournament happening. But no one told the host city. > Full house for the opener of the 2022 World Juniors.

It’s a hard sell to get even the most diehard fans out for anything in the summer, but dropping a couple grand on a pair of tickets is a big ask, especially with the current economy. To make it worse they aren’t selling the entire arena, only the lower bowl. > Plenty of seats -- and man-oh-man, do I mean PLENTY -- of seats available for Canada's opener Wednesday at world junior hockey championships ... Those blue areas show up as "100+" available ... (The grey is not for sale, curtained off.)

There’s a very noticeable lack of sponsorships, which due to Hockey Canada’s gross incompetence and malicious conduct. --- #### Related [Analysis | Unsold tickets. Empty ad spots.

Skinner was captain at Cornell, and was a professional referee at one point as well. --- #### Related [Hockey Canada appoints board member Andrea Skinner as interim chair](https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-hockey-canada-appoints-board-member-andrea-skinner-as-interim-chair/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) --- In Top 25 news, we have the list of unranked players to help you along with your speculation. --- #### Related [2022 T25U25: The Unranked](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/2022-t25u25-the-unranked/) --- Newly acquired Hurricane Max Pacioretty had surgery to repair a torn Achilles and will be out until the second half of the season. --- #### Related [Hurricanes forward Max Pacioretty to miss six months with torn Achilles](https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/hurricanes-forward-max-pacioretty-to-miss-six-months-with-torn-achilles/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) --- Another RFA has signed, so maybe now we’ll get more moves? --- #### Related [Hurricanes Sign Necas to Two-Year Extension, Avoid Arbitration - The Hockey News](https://thehockeynews.com/news/hurricanes-sign-necas-to-two-year-extension-avoid-arbitration?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) --- If you’re interested, today’s World Juniors games are: Sweden vs Switzerland at 2:00PM Latvia vs Canada at 6:00PM Germany vs Austria at 10:00PM Enjoy your day everyone!
