The Greater Toronto Hockey League, in partnership with Movember and Hubberd Studios, is gearing up for the inaugural Moustache Cup featuring the Under-16 Toronto Marlboros and Toronto Jr. Canadiens on Saturday, November 19. The game, which will strive to raise funds and awareness for mental health, will be broadcasted by Hubberd Studios with the stream available on CBCSports.ca, CBC Gem, and the CBC Sports app. The broadcast will begin with a pre-game show at 7:00pm, followed by puck drop at 7:30pm at Mattamy Athletic Centre.

Leading up to the Moustache Cup, the Marlboros, Jr. Canadiens, as well as a team comprised of GTHL Officials have been participating in the annual “Movember” event, traditionally involving the growing of moustaches during the month of November to raise awareness of men’s health issues, such as men’s mental health and suicide prevention, prostate cancer and testicular cancer. As of November 14, the teams have raised over $22,000. To get in on the GTHL Challenge and support the teams, visit the GTHL’s Mo Space here.
