Ottawa
Senators vs. Toronto Maple Leafs PPE
For just the second time ever in the National Hockey League (NHL), Due
to the attack in Ottawa at the parliament and Memorial, The Game between the
Toronto Maple Leafs and the Ottawa Senators was postponed. The terrorist attack
in Ottawa was a Canadian changing moment witch sadly killing Cpl. Nathan
Cirillos who was standing honor at the war memorial in Ottawa. The terrorist
then barged into the parliament but the security killed him. This is the first
time in Canadian history, someone has ever terrorized at the parliament in
Ottawa. The reason they canceled the National Hockey League game between the
Toronto Maple Leafs and the Ottawa Senators is because they we’re worried about
if they were going to be targeted. This isn’t the first time the NHL has
postponed a game. April 15 2013, The Boston Bruins we’re supposed to play
against the Philadelphia Flyers but at the Boston Marathon, there were 2
bombings and they postponed the game to a later date in the season. The
National Hockey League understands the safety issues and the player safety and
security. The Toronto Maple leafs we’re 200 meters away from the shooting cause
they were at the western hotel in downtown Ottawa. Thankfully, the players
we’re not involved in this and injured. The gun man’s name was Michael Zehaf
Bibeau who was 32 years of age, was a Canadian citizen who was having drug
issues and mental illness issues. For the first time ever, the Canadian
National anthem was played at an American NHL hockey game and was played to
show respect and class. The next game between the Ottawa Senators and The New
jersey Devils on October 23rd in Ottawa will be something very special and
they’re will be a ceremony before the game.
