Back in Action: Ice Boy Toronto & MLSE – Raptors, Ice Deliveries & Unforgettable Moments

After COVID confined our beloved Raptors to a bubble—and even a brief stint as the Tampa Bay Raptors—it was exhilarating to welcome Canada’s team back home at Scotiabank Arena. Being a key supplier for MLSE lets our team enjoy exclusive behind-the-scenes experiences at iconic venues like Scotiabank Arena and BMO Field.

A Homecoming to Remember

I still remember the nerves of standing on an empty stage in a vast arena—the perspective from behind the scenes deepens our appreciation for every sporting event and concert. For the Raptors’ first game back this season, we set up a large food display in the Air Canada Signature Lounge, where fans gathered before the game and during intermission.

Tailgate Excitement & Playoff Push

After the Raptors secured a playoff spot, our packaged ice became the star at Jurassic Park (Maple Leafs Square) tailgate parties—keeping beer ice cold for excited fans watching on a huge screen. Despite the challenges of coordinating multiple deliveries and navigating Toronto traffic, our team ensured that every setup—from seafood displays in the Air Canada Lounge to tailgate parties—was executed flawlessly.

Memorable Experiences & Future Ambitions

Even though the Raptors eventually fell to the 76ers in game 3, the electric atmosphere inside Scotiabank Arena and our behind-the-scenes experiences remain unforgettable. We take immense pride in being MLSE’s main supplier—supporting not only the Raptors but also the Leafs and countless concerts. The memories of our 2019 Championship run, with massive displays at Real Sports Bar and epic ice deliveries for the parade, drive us to do even more.

Looking Ahead

As we move forward, we hope 2023 brings the Raptors greater success and another shot at the Larry O’Brien Trophy. We are Ice Boy Toronto Ltd—dedicated sports fans and proud Toronto supporters. Go Raptors, and WE THE NORTH!
