Awesome game today. Totally sold out with announced attendance at 8,270. Good tickets, roughly $200 for 2, in the visitors end which meant we saw all the goals.
The crowd was 90% female with a lot of young girls wearing Sceptres gear. Great energy in the fan base.
The Sceptres have a lot of support from the #LGBTQ community in Toronto. My daughter, who works for #RainbowRailroad, has told me they are trying to set up a special fundraising night in 2027 because of that community fan base.

Good Morning #Canada
I spent the weekend with my youngest daughter and she mentioned that the non-profit she works for, #RainbowRailroad, had launched a new website. Despite the fact that she refuses to join Mastodon, I thought I'd give her organization some Fediverse love. Rainbow Railroad literally saves #LGBTQ lives through counseling, support and emergency evacuation from hostile countries. They have assisted 45,000 individuals since their founding in 2006.
The other charitable organization we support is the Canadian Cancer Society, specifically focused on #BreastCancer because our oldest daughter is a survivor. She also works in non-profit, writing grant and funding proposals for the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre in Toronto. I might have to dedicate a Good Morning post for her work just to be fair.
There's definitely some humble bragging and parental pride this morning, sorry for that. But they both do important work that benefits many others.
