Looks like it's not just Montreal but they will play in Edmonton as well.

It works out perfectly, as soon as it starts getting cold! Ball starts. Pretty much try to enjoy everyday outdoors in our short summers.

I will make the trip from (just outside) Calgary!

Went to a pre-season game there YEARS ago.

Playing in Edmonton will give the players a deeper appreciation of Toronto weather.
Nick Nurse recounting his first meeting with Kawhi:
“We could have gone forever. (Raptors management) kept knocking on the door and I was like, ‘A couple more minutes.’ Because we were really into it."

Damn, my boss will want to go with me to Edmonton from Calgary to see the game.
I want to go, but not with him.

I am so excited about this? Anyone have a rough idea of ticket cost? Would preseason be cheaper than regular season? I told my kids that we would go…but they are already asking where we will sit!

It's the least Toronto could do for Edmonton, to make up for stealing McDavid in a few years.

It’s the opposite for me. I live in Texas so I can’t wait for the summer to end. October can’t come soon enough

Enjoy the rest of your summer for people like me who can’t go outside

Cool, good opportunity for some Albertan exposure!

Anyone else find it funny that the two arenas they'll be playing in are named after two owners of MLSE? And by funny, I mean kinda off-putting.
