Celebrating U of T's impact on hockey in Toronto

Toronto is a sports city, through and through. And at the heart of that is hockey. As the 2024 NHL All-Star Weekend gets underway, join #UofT as we share the story of how our Varsity Blues hockey program inspired the Toronto Maple Leafs, and propelled the career of a five-time Olympian in women's hockey. Plus, we look at how the Tanenbaum Institute for Science in Sport at U of T and Sinai Health is shaping the future of athletics and ensuring that sports are for everyone.
