Hockey Hall of Fame



We are staying in a campground in Missisagua, as there are not really camp grounds in the city of Toronto. It is only about 40 minutes to downtown, so that is not too bad. We had a couple of nights/mornings of rain, so there was lots of extra humidity! Temperatures were between 25 and 30 degrees most days - a little draining for those of us not used to it.
At the top of our list of Toronto sights (well, maybe not for all of us, but the majority) was the Hockey Hall of Fame. There was tons of memorabilia and exhibits, and even games the kids, big and small, could do. Shooting practice and goalie practice with an interactive computer screen were big hits. The main hall that holds all the cups, Stanley, Lady Byng, etc, is an impressive room, housed in an old bank, with a Cathedral ceiling and a rose window. If you were so inclined, you could spend many hours reading tons of history and info all about hockey through the ages. We were amused to see a pair of skates exactly like David's in a display - we keep telling him he needs to buy a new pair, and now we have proof!
