Utah Hockey Club's Traffic Woes in Toronto

The Utah Hockey Club, formerly known as the Arizona Coyotes, had to walk to their NHL game against the Toronto Maple Leafs due to heavy traffic congestion exacerbated by road closures for the Santa Claus Parade. The team's bus was caught in gridlock, prompting the players to make the journey on foot to Scotiabank Arena. This unusual situation was captured in a video shared on social media, showing players in suits walking through downtown Toronto. Premier Doug Ford used the incident to highlight ongoing debates about urban traffic management and bike lanes in the city. Despite their unconventional pre-game preparation, Utah managed to take an early lead but ultimately lost 3-2 to the Maple Leafs. This incident underscores Toronto's notorious traffic issues, which have previously affected other public figures like IndyCar driver Lochie Hughes and singer Niall Horan.
