If you're reading this and it's between the hours of 7-9:30pm EST, do yourself a favour and tune into Hockey Night in Canada. You might be witnessing the end of an era in Toronto sports. Mats Sundin, captain of the Toronto Maple Leafs since 1997, is on the trading block. Earlier this week, TSN broke the news that interim general manager Cliff Fletcher had asked Sundin for a list of teams he'd be willing to......

So the CBC couldn't hang on to This is Wonderland and there are rumours flying around that Hockey Night in Canada might be shuffling over to a rival network but there's some good news at the Ceeb if they can still pick up Arrested Development in syndication. One question though: who's programming the CBC's fall schedule? Why is the only news that we can get excited about is the CBC picking up a much abused......

Forget Hockey Night In Canada give us your overwrought German opera any day of the week. CBC Radio 2 will be broadcasting the COC's production of the Ring Cycle this fall. It's the first time Wagner's mammoth opera quartet will be staged in its entirety in Canada. All four operas will take about 15-hours so get comfy before you turn on your radios. But why just radio? With the cancellation of the One we think......

Maple Leafs Sports and Entertainment abandoned common protocol Thursday afternoon, firing the Raptors underachieving General Manager, Rob Babcock. Come to think of it, it's only common protocol when dealing with the hockey side of the business. Raptors officials are hired and fired like one-night stands. Prior to joining the team in 2004, Babcock certainly couldn't have envisioned the next eighteen months being any more devastating. He had been a controversy from day one, when Vince......

Try repeating the following sentence five times... Spartacat, Spezza and the Senators should sweep Sundin's sluggish and slothful squad this season. The Maple Leafs travel to Ottawa to face the Senators on Hockey Night in Canada this weekend. The divisional rivalry has been a tad one-sided thus far, leaving Torontoians with little to be excited about. In case anyone forgot, Dany Heatley scored 4 times as the Sens beat the Leafs 8-0 on October 29.......

Five artists (Christopher Hutsul, Drew Simmons, Julia Burton, Matt James, Steve Marsh and Tina Cooper) show works about the game in Hockey Night, which opens tonight at Queen West's Park Gallery (1036 Queen Street West). 7ish.......

It could be just hours or minutes before we find out that the National Hockey League’s thirty participants will be officially boarding up their doors for the 2004-2005 season. Without suspense due to NHL Vice President Bill Daly’s leaked memo to the league owners on Monday afternoon, Gary Bettman is set to tell the player’s union that last Thursday's proposal is NOT what they had in mind. Leading up to the labour dispute, the league......
