Re. Maple Leaf Gardens

For the record, Maple Leaf Gardens did not close in 1999, as some in the Toronto media have reported.

MLG was still used by the Leafs as a practice facility for a few seasons.

The Toronto Rock also used MLG as their home arena until 2001.

There was a OneXOne concert held in the facility, as well as a Nuit Blanche installation in 2008. In addition, the first season of Battle of The Blades was filmed at MLG.
