If you want to watch the Leafs game tonight and don’t have digital TV, you might want to drop by your local movie theatre.
For the first time in more than 40 years, select Leafs games, available only on Leafs TV, are being shown on the big screen. They'll be aired in high-definition and will be of movie quality, Cineplex promises.
Admission is $10.95 for adults and $8.95 for children, with $1 from every ticket going to the Captains' Fund, which provides bursaries for minor hockey players to defray registration and equipment costs.
Cineplex is showing seven Leafs games in 25 theatres across Ontario. All are otherwise exclusive to Leafs TV, which is in about 200,000 homes across the province.
Last year, Cineplex experimented in Western Canada, by showing pay-per-view games in theatres. This year, it increased the number of showings and added Toronto and Ottawa to the list.
Some Leaf away games were shown in theatres during the '60s.
