TORONTO — Ontario Premier Doug Ford says the Toronto Maple Leafs’ parent company has been in contact with the province about the possibility of Canada’s biggest city serving as a so-called “hockey pod” for teams should the NHL resume its season.

Speaking at his daily COVID-19 media briefing Tuesday, Ford said Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment has reached out, but hasn’t provided any details about a potential proposal. “Once I get more information, I’ll be able to pass it along.” The NHL, which was forced to pause its schedule March 12 amid the COVID-19 pandemic, has been looking at plans to centralize groups of teams in low-risk centres in hopes of resuming the 2019-20 campaign this summer.

‘LHHATL’: Sierra Gates Explains Why Her Epic On-Screen Fight With Karlie Redd Really Happened

Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta star Sierra Gates, 30, is setting the record straight about her epic fight with her co-star Karlie Redd, 46. As fans of the show know, things got physical between the former friends earlier this season after Karlie failed to show up to court to testify on Sierra’s behalf, in an unrelated assault case. During a post-court party the co-stars got into an altercation and Sierra “mushed” Karlie in the face and it quickly turned into an all out brawl. Although it seems like the fight was the result of Karlie not showing up to court, Sierra told HollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY that she had a different reason for getting physical.
