Non-NHL or AHL teams to go see while in QC & ON?

[Ram The Slot]

Hey all,

My friend and I will be in Montreal on Dec. 3rd and Leaving Toronto Dec. 7th. We are trying to catch as many games as possible during this time, willing to travel around, and I need input..

We are from a place with 1 NHL team and 2 AHL teams, so we want to go to anything except those 2 leagues (QMJHL, OHL, college, womens leagues, beer leagues, frozen pond WWF, whatever we can find.. we are going to try to go to a morning d-league basketball game for example), but I know exactly nothing about any of this stuff.

Can anyone school me a bit? I really don't want to miss out. Non-sports input is welcome too (I heard poutine can change a persons life, now it's on the list).

Thanks!

OHL has some really good hockey for what it's worth, any OHL city within a 30 minute to 2 hour drive is worth see reasonably priced and very entertaining. Depending on what city your close to check the league schedules. Places like Owen Sound which is 3 hours north of Toronto has is one of the most energetic cities to catch a OHL game in.

Hope this helps AS

Either of these games would be great in game experiences and match ups within your time frame and not super far from Toronto

The Owen Sound @ London game is also the Knights annual Teddy Bear Toss

Owen Sound game for $30 after fees is EXACTLY what I was hoping to find here. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

You will love Budweiser Gardens. Mini NHL rink and the best building in the league, just don't look at the scoreboard...the jumbotron is about 10 years outdated

Bud Gardens really is a cool mini-NHL expierience but I’ll second the Owen Sound trip too. It’s one of my all time favorite away games in any league.

It's my favorite game of the year. Awesome we can share it with a national audience.

Well, $#!+. I just tried to buy 2 tickets and all that is left is singles... You guys werent kidding, this must be a a pretty good time if its already sold out to that extent.

Anyone have a set they wish they didn't buy?

Whats the next best thing to go to if you cant get to this game?

Also, if anyone is going fishing, knows a great brewery/distillery or knows where to see a wild or bizzare band or whatever else and feels like dragging a couple sorry-@$$ Americans around.. drop me a line. I want to really experience Toronto!

A few options I found:
AHL:
Cleveland @ Laval Dec.4. Laval is in the suburbs of Montreal.
San Antonio @ Toronto Dec.7.

OHL:
London @ Peterborough (Peterborough’s teddy bear toss). I recommend sitting along the sides, not behind the nets, especially for a teddy bear toss.
Kingston @ Peterborough Dec.7.

Other OHL teams in range are Mississauga, Hamilton, and Niagara. If you’re looking at a trip to London, Kitchener and Guelph are other cities to consider. There’s also the Brampton Beast (ECHL).
