To celebrate their arrival into Canada during their 90th year, Harlem Globetrotter Buckets Blakes made an improbable shot from the catwalk at the old Maple Leaf Gardens to a hoop over 130-feet below. It was the 2nd attempt ever tried.

The Globetrotters Canadian tour brings games to 18 Canadian cities in six provinces. Full schedule available at harlemglobetrotters.com/canada.
The Globetrotters were founded in 1926 – five years before Maple Leaf Gardens opened. The complex is now Mattamy Athletic Centre.
