SUPPORTING WILLIAM OSLER HEALTH SYSTEM

Toronto Maple Leafs’ Super Star and Fan Favourite Mitch Marner Joins Hockey Night in Brampton

City of Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown is proud to welcome Mitch Marner, star forward for the Toronto Maple Leafs, to the already exciting all-star lineup for this year’s Hockey Night in Brampton. This exciting event, in support of the William Osler Health System Foundation, promises to be an unforgettable night for hockey fans and the community alike.

Previously announced coaches Wendel Clark and Doug Gilmour are excited to be back, with Coach Gilmour ready to defend his title as last year’s champ. This year’s lineup also features former NHL defenseman and Canadian gold medalist, Chris Pronger, along with star players from the Women’s Canadian National team, Tessa Bonhomme and Renata Fast. NHL players Dylan Strome, Erik Gudbranson, Cole Perfetti, Liam Foudy and Jack McBain, alongside Hockey Hall of Famer Chris Chelios and former NHL and Brampton Battalion player Cody Hodgson, will also be taking to the ice. Iconic Toronto Maple Leafs legend Daryl Sittler will kick off season three of this important local fundraiser with the puck drop.

Last year, the event raised $1,000,000 for the Osler Foundation. This year, the City aims to exceed that number to further support the development of Brampton’s second hospital. As one of the busiest community hospital systems in Canada, Osler plays a vital role in our community’s health and well-being. The City of Brampton is committed to enhancing local health care services through initiatives like Hockey Night in Brampton, ensuring residents have access to specialized care close to home.

The City extends its gratitude to Hockey Night in Brampton’s General Sponsors Alliance Verdi Civil, Berkshire Axis, MTB Transit Solutions, Orlando Corporation and Rogers, as well as Presenting Sponsor Panattoni Development Company Canada. We also thank our Changemaker Sponsors Capital Power, DG Group, Great Gulf and Paradise Developments for their generous support.
