Crunch Host Marlies in AHL Matchup

The Syracuse Crunch meet the Toronto Marlies on home ice in Syracuse for an American Hockey League game. The Marlies are a professional team based in Toronto, and their visit gives fans a close look at one of the AHL's most established franchises.

Toronto's side brings a deep history: the club grew out of the New Brunswick Hawks, later moved through St. Catharines, Newmarket and St. John's, and eventually settled in Toronto under the Marlies name, honouring the old Toronto Marlboros junior team. With two Calder Cup titles, the Marlies arrive with a proven record of success, making this regular-season game a chance to see a championship-tested club in person.
