By Rob Bale
Transit company Metrolinx has debuted a branded Go Transit train called the “Go Leafs Go Train” to coincide with the start of the National Hockey League playoffs. The initiative is being conducted in collaboration with Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment. The train will also host giveaways of playoff-themed prizes and special guest appearances. In addition, participating stations along the Lakeshore West and East lines will host pre-game rally events before Toronto Maple Leafs home games.
“With thousands of Maple Leafs fans relying on Go Transit to get to and from Scotiabank Arena for games and tailgate action, we are excited to work with Metrolinx to offer fans a special playoff experience that starts with their train ride to the city,” said Shannon Hosford, chief marketing officer, MLSE. “The passion of Leafs fans is felt all over the GTA, and with the ‘Go Leafs Go Train,’ that excitement can unite fans as they make their way to Scotiabank Arena.”
