The game will take place at the PMC and tickets will go on sale on Friday, June 2. Tickets start at $25 each and children’s tickets are $20.

There are also a limited number of $75 VIP upgrade tickets, available which include a pre-game reception and meet and greet with either the Montreal Canadiens or Toronto Maple Leafs team.

“We are really excited to be hosting Rivalry Night with the Peterborough Memorial Centre” said Vince Bierworth, executive director for the GPHSF. “There is no greater rivalry in professional hockey and, arguably, all of professional sports, than the Habs versus Leafs. It’s going to be a lot of fun having these passionate fans in the Memorial Centre cheering on the alumni of their favourite teams. Proceeds from the event will support the GPHSF, Your Family Health Team Foundation. Vital funding for initiatives that broaden equity and access to healthcare.”

The full roster for each team will be announced closer to the event and the Alumni say they are promising an exciting and competitive game.

Tickets can be purchased online, by phone or in person at the PMC Box Office.

Diehard Montreal Canadiens Fans Have Great Workout At Y This Morning

Montreal knocked off Boston in Game 7 last night (May 14th) to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals against the New York Rangers, another showdown of Original 6 teams. Diehard Habs fans across Canada went nuts—including in hockeytown Peterborough. Exhibit A: Tony Caravaggio, Steve Downer, Ron "Crunch" Crossman and John Delorme (all pictured below) at the YMCA of Peterborough, who got their workout in with Habs gear (and rug)—along with PK Subban's jersey on the end machine—this morning. Tony (far left) below is rocking his Bob Gainey jersey, and Steve's in the sleeveless jersey. They even began chanting with other fans in the workout area the Olé, Olé, Olé, Olé chant. —Scott Arnold
