The ice at Weston Lions Recreation Arena, a staple of the tight-knit west Toronto community for more than 70 years, will not go quiet. “I think the future of hockey really needed this in the city of Toronto,” said Lesley Bannard, the president of Weston Minor Hockey League (WMHL). CTV News Toronto first spoke with Bannard last June when her organization was told they’d need to find a new home for the 2025-26 season. “We just want a chance, a chance to survive,” she said at that time.
