Maple Leafs Honor Van Attack Victims Amid Tighter Security

The Maple Leafs held a moment of silence prior to last night's home playoff game against the Bruins in "honour of those affected by the deadly incident involving a van and pedestrians in north Toronto earlier in the day." The starting lineups of both teams "stood on their blue lines while the Air Canada Centre crowd stood in silence as a photo of Toronto’s skyline flashed on the scoreboard." Roads were closed around the venue, and there was "more security inside the arena for Game 6 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinal in response to the incident that police say killed 10 people and injured 16." MLSE did not provide details on "what the extra security inside the arena entailed" (CP, 4/23).
