Toronto to host 2024 NHL All Star Game

Maybe they will have an event where players shoot pucks off the CN Tower, lol.

Trying to hit the target of a dunk tank with Justin Bieber sitting inside wearing a clown wig.

That’s a shame.

I was hoping after the “hate cold cities for ASGs” comment this one would end up in Winnipeg.

There’s always 2025

Players: we want to go where it's warm.

NHL: say no more, enjoy the heat of Toronto sports media.

Maybe it will go to Edmonton. Their new arena has never hosted an All Star Game and I remember reading a story about them wanting to host one because of that fact.

I don't remember that being true when Montreal hosted it in 2009 and Ottawa hosting in 2012. Those were the last two times any Canadian city hosted the All Star Game.

The truth is Toronto should have hosted it in 2017 during their 100th anniversary, since Montreal did that for their 100th anniversary in 2009. So, the NHL was 7 years late giving Toronto their first All Star Game since 2000.

So instead y'all get it on Boston's 100th season. I guess Toronto is due for a win.

Haha watch it become like the Pro Bowl where instead of Hawaii, it’s in Winnipeg every year moving forward.

Please god no, the only saving grace in Canada is that the coverage of the ASG is minimal because it’s usually in some southern American city. It’s a brutal weekend for real hockey fans.

If it’s in Toronto it will be TSN’s only topic for 3 straight weeks.

Brutal!

Over the super bowl? Pretty sure that wont happen.

 

[Arthur Morgan]

oh boy cant wait

It's not like Boston hasn't hosted three Winter Classic's in 2010, 2016, and in 2023.

 

[jetsforever]

That cold weather rule sure lasted long

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

Warm enough

are we really gonna bitch and moan over who is hosting a 3 on 3 tournament for 3 hours?

This is the kind of thing no American fan has ever cared about.

Certainly not, just poking fun. No one could care less.

Nah, we talked about it a lot when it was here and Alfie being there and stuff. It was a pretty big deal.
Good on TO, they can hand out some blue and white long johns to visiting players.

 

[HuGo Sham]

Congrats Toronto!

 

[BHD]

David Kampf to the first All Star team. Make it happen!

 

[Kerberos]

How many Leafs will be selected?

Matthews, Marner, Nylander, Rielly, Sandin, Bunting and who else?

No one cared. Doesn’t matter where you’re from.

 

[TradeAllStromes]

They should have more players on the ice for the allstar game. Make it like 7v7

 

[Ezekial]

Any of you ever think that this was already known and the report that players don't want to go to cold weather places for the ASG was a response to this news and not the other way around?

*edge of the CN tower with no harness. Then maybe you will get a few extra viewers.

Matthews, Marner, and Nylander would be the favorites if the Leafs are to have at least three players selected.
