TORONTO, ON (May 2, 2024) – The 2nd Annual Hockey Hall of Fame Series, hosted by Play Hockey, commenced last weekend with the HHOF Future Legends showcase in Toronto, Ontario. The Future Legends is a one-of-a-kind showcase in partnership between the Hockey Hall of Fame, Play Hockey, and Premier Ice Prospects. Players from all over North America and Europe are selected by a scouting & evaluation team and then “drafted” onto rosters to ensure the event features both great competition and geographic diversity on each team. This year’s Future Legends showcase took place April 25-28th at Scotiabank Pond & Westwood Arena in Toronto. A few members of the LiveBarn team had the opportunity to set up a Street Team at Scotiabank Pond to be a part of all the action.
