The Game
Fill the stands!
Thousands of Santas in the stands watching the Toronto Marlies take on the St. John's Ice Caps. It's going to be epic!
Every registrant to the event receives a free ticket to the game, December 15, 2013, 3:00pm faceoff. This will set some kind of record for Santas at one professional hockey game.
The male and female winners from the event will drop the puck for the ceremonial faceoff!
Charity

The MLSE Foundation believes all kids should have access to sport and the opportunity to develop lasting dreams on the playing field.
With the support of all four MLSE teams – the Toronto Maple Leafs, Toronto Raptors, Toronto FC and Toronto Marlies – the Foundation funds the refurbishment of local athletic facilities, and funds charities that support kids through sports and recreational programs.
Since launching in December 2009, the MLSE Foundation has invested more than $9.5 million into our community. Last season, we impacted the lives of more than 110,000 kids.
