Media Advisory - Canadian Tire celebrates the return of hockey with Leafs Nation

TORONTO, Oct. 7, 2014 /CNW/ - Canadian Tire, official retail partner of the Toronto Maple Leafs and the National Hockey League, wants to celebrate the start of the Toronto Maple Leafs hockey season with some of the country's biggest, and loudest, hockey fans.

Canadian Tire will mark the official start of the NHL regular season with an exciting one-day, in-store event that includes giveaways and a meet-and-greet opportunity with Leafs legend, Darryl Sittler. Please note, due to store capacity, a wrist-band policy will be in effect for the meet-and-greet opportunity.

Be sure to also visit the Canadian Tire tent at the NHL Face-Off at Yonge Dundas Square for even more prizes and a chance to win tickets to the Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Montreal Canadiens home opener.

Canadian Tire is a proud partner of the Toronto Maple Leafs and the NHL, and has a long history of supporting hockey in Canada. From backyard rinks to world-class arenas, no other retailer gets hockey like Canadian Tire.
