The Maple Leafs preseason continues today with a game against the Buffalo Sabres at a slightly early start time of 6:30 p.m over in the town famous for an elephant, St. Thomas Ontario.
Hockeyville this year is actually West Lorne, which is quite a ways west of St. Thomas along the 401, but they won the contest to get the upgrades to the local arena , however even upgraded that arena isn't capable of hosting an actual NHL game with attendance of any significance, so the days event will happen in St. Thomas instead.

Sheldon Keefe says Cowan has consistently been one of the best players in training camp: “Just keep stacking up good days…and see what happens.”
