Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling Announces Northern Rising for October 3 in Toronto

Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling has announced its biggest event of the year, with MLP Northern Rising officially set for Saturday, October 3 in Toronto.

The show will be held at TMU’s Mattamy Athletic Centre — a venue steeped in wrestling history as the former Maple Leaf Gardens, one of the most storied arenas in Canadian sports. The historic setting adds extra weight to what MLP is billing as its marquee event of 2026.

Tickets are scheduled to go on sale Friday, July 17, giving fans just a few days to mark their calendars before seats become available. No matches or card details have been announced at this stage, but with a venue of that magnitude and the promotion’s top billing attached to the event, expectations will naturally run high.

MaplLeaf Pro has carved out a loyal following in the Toronto independent scene, and a return to a building with the legacy of Maple Leaf Gardens — where legends of the sport wrestled for decades — signals real ambition for Northern Rising. October 3 gives the company several months to build toward what should be a significant night for Canadian independent wrestling.
