Individual tickets for the tournament being held September 16, 17, and 18 go on sale at 10am on Thursday. Tournament packages offering multiple game tickets have been available since April 29.

This is the fourth year in a row that London has hosted the tournament which features the top prospects from four of the National Hockey League’s most popular franchises. Over the course of three days, fans will see the new crop of talent playing for the Toronto Maples Leafs, the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Ottawa Senators, and the Montreal Canadiens.
