HAMILTON – Fans will not need to present proof of vaccination to attend the upcoming NHL Heritage Classic outdoor game at Tim Hortons Field.
The Hamilton Sports Group released a statement Thursday announcing the policy for the March 13 game between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Buffalo Sabres at the home of the CFL’s Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
Ontario lifted several of its COVID-19 restrictions on Tuesday, including capacity limits on large venues and proof of vaccination for indoor spaces.
The NBA’s Toronto Raptors and the Maple Leafs have since played to nearly full crowds at Scotiabank Arena since the restrictions were lifted.
Fans at the Heritage Classic will be required to wear a mask for any indoor areas at Tim Hortons Field, such as restrooms.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published March 3, 2022.
