The National Hockey League’s 2022 Tim Hortons Heritage Classic game between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Buffalo Sabres takes place in Hamilton’s Tim Hortons Field this Sunday, March 13. To help fans travel to and from the game, GO Transit is providing special express shuttle buses between West Harbour GO Station and the stadium. The buses are free of fare — if you have a valid ticket to the game.
The City of Hamilton is closing parts of Cannon Street East near the stadium before, during and after the event. The Hamilton Street Railway is detouring buses along the 3 Cannon route, while the street is closed.
