Leafs fans to rally to save NHL season

Posted By: Siobhan Morris · 10/13/2012 5:00:00 AM

Leafs fans are digging their blue & white & their foam fingers out of storage.

No, the NHL season isn't back on, but they are headed to the ACC this weekend.

They'll meet up at York & Bremner at 4pm Saturday for the "Give Us Back Our Game" rally.

Organizer Matteo Codispoti says it's a chance for fans to fight back against the NHL & its players.  He says the rally isn't meant to demonize anyone, but to call attention to the suffering the lockout is causing in the city.

Codispoti says with games cancelled through October 24th, he'll be missing out on bonding opportunities with his 5-year-old son.  He says single moms who count on the tips they make from slinging drinks on game nights will hurt too.

    The NHL is not bigger than hockey and we the fans shouldn't give them that status. There is as always a lot of good and exciting hockey to be found in the GTA and surrounding area. The Marlies, Bulldogs and all the motivated junior teams play an inspired brand of hockey.
