Ontario–Quebec Hockey Loop
Toronto · Ottawa · Montréal — Original Six country
Toronto → Ottawa → Montréal traces the Highway 401 corridor through the heart of Canadian hockey — the Maple Leafs, Senators and Canadiens, plus the Raptors and Blue Jays in Toronto. It's roughly six to seven hours of driving split across two legs (about 4.5 hours to Ottawa, then 2 to Montréal), or an easy VIA Rail ride.
