Utah NHL Team Walks to Game After Toronto Traffic Halts Team Bus

Players from the Utah Hockey Club trekked through downtown Toronto to reach Scotiabank Arena as severe congestion delayed their bus before a matchup against the Maple Leafs.

The Utah Hockey Club's team bus was immobilized by heavy Toronto traffic caused by street closures for the annual Santa Claus parade.
Players, dressed in suits, walked through the downtown area to reach Scotiabank Arena in time for their NHL game against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
A video of the team walking, posted on social media, went viral, with defenseman Maveric Lamoureux describing the situation as a first for the team.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford called the traffic issues 'embarrassing' and reiterated his government's commitment to addressing gridlock, citing plans for bike lane legislation.
Despite their unusual pre-game journey, Utah lost the game 3-2, marking the Maple Leafs' fourth consecutive win.
