​“We regret that we have had to move the game from Hamilton but the FA were adamant about not traveling to Toronto and requested the change. While the CSA was willing to host a game in Hamilton and strenuously argued the situation in the Toronto area is under control, we regretfully had to accept the decision taken by the FA,” said CSA Chief Operating Officer Kevan Pipe.
​​
​​
​​
​The game will now be played at Montreal’s Centre Claude Robillard on Monday, May 19, at 7:00 p.m.. The second game of the series will be played at Ottawa’s Frank Clair Stadium at 7:00 p.m. as scheduled.
