MLSE watch party for Team Canada’s women’s gold medal Olympic hockey game switching locations

Fans planning to cheer on Canada’s women’s hockey team at Maple Leafs Sports and Entertainment’s (MLSE) watch party will now head to a popular downtown Toronto sports bar to do so.

The sports organization announced Wednesday it is swapping locations from Coca-Cola Coliseum to Real Sports Bar and Grill, which is located at 15 York St., nearby the Scotiabank Arena.

MLSE did not say why it was relocating to the sports bar. However, MLSE says it has notified ticketholders and made reservations at Real Sports for them.

There are still some tickets left for the watch party, which costs $15 a pop, and the proceeds will go toward the MLSE Foundation.
