Canadians are allowed to spend billions while travelling in Florida but we’re now banned from supporting the Toronto Maple Leafs in the team’s quest for the Stanley Cup.
It’s the ultimate in hypocrisy, and a gross high stick to the face, that Canadian hockey fans should never forget.
“FLA Live Arena is located in Sunrise, Fla.,” and for the third and fourth games of the second round of the NHL playoffs between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Florida Panthers, “primary sales to this event will be restricted to residents of the United States.”

And don’t even think about trying to sneak in or get around this.
“Orders by residents outside of the United States will be cancelled without notice.”
Not exactly a warm reception from the Sunshine State which earns billions from Canadian investments and sees its hockey arenas frequented by snowbirds all winter. Those venues would be empty on many regular season nights if they didn’t
Somebody is worried that the Panthers game will be more like a Leafs home game!
