Toronto Metropolitan University’s (TMU’s) men’s hockey team defeated the University of Toronto Varsity Blues 3–1 in their homecoming game on Sept. 18 at the Mattamy Athletic Centre (MAC) on campus. The Bold controlled most of the game with a total of 32 shots on goal. This win marked the Bold’s third straight season with a homecoming win. According to the TMU Bold’s Instagram, the sold-out game drew a full house at the MAC, with students packing the stands. The team is set to play next against the University of Ottawa on Sept 20., at the MAC.
