Those who love hockey but have not seen the top floor arena at the old Maple Leaf Gardens may want to take in the exhibition game Saturday night between the Leaside Jr. Wildcats and the Ryerson Rams. This part of the historic old building at Church and Carlton is now known as Mattamy Arena to recognize the generous donation of Peter Gilgan to fund its creation. The name is also on his construction company but it comes from the eldest two of his eight children Matt and Amy. Love that. The arena sits high above the ice where the Leafs once played (that’s now a Loblaws). Mattamy inhabits the rarefied space of the gondola from which Foster Hewitt and then his son Bill and countless other play-by-play people used to broadcast to the world. Wildcats and Rams at 7.30 Saturday.
