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.
