TORONTO, ON – The Greater Toronto Hockey League is excited to announce a two-year partnership with Spordle Inc., Canada’s leader in sports technology solutions. This partnership is designed to enhance the GTHL’s tournament management.

The partnership will leverage Spordle’s Play platform, an integrated solution seamlessly connected with the Hockey Canada Registry (HCR), which is also powered by Spordle.
