The Toronto Maple Leafs have released their full schedule for the 2016-17 season, which will be the 100th in franchise history.
The season will begin about a week later than usual due to the World Cup of Hockey taking place in September.
The NHL season begins Oct 12th and concludes Apr 9th, 180 days in length.
Almost a week shorter than last years season which was 186 days
