    > Toronto will play at 8,700-seat Coca-Cola Coliseum at Exhibition Place and will have the ability to move up to the Scotiabank Arena on occasion. Opened in 1921, Coca-Cola Coliseum also is the home of the American Hockey League’s Toronto Marlies.

    > Tanenbaum said that the team also will play some games in Vancouver and Montreal. As far as the name of the team, he said that they’d take their time and “solicit public input.”

    Good for Larry’s legacy. Better for sports fans in the city/country.

    im hyped for this honestly it will be really cool to have a sister team. I’ve been wanting a WNBA team to cheer for since the Caitlyn Clark march madness hype, so the timing is perfect.
