Toronto Maple Leafs: Yaos St. Louis Bar and Grill

Yaos St. Louis Bar and Grill: The 2011 Census this week crowned Markham as Canadas most diverse city, with 72.3 per cent of the population coming from visible minorities. That diversity was reflected at Yaos St. Louis Bar and Grill on Highway 7, just west of Warden Ave., on Wednesday night, when the majority of Yaos patrons were Asians, according to The Star. The lack of a hockey tradition is not a problem, said the 36-year-old Markham man. Hockey is in Canadians blood. If everyone around you watches hockey and talks about hockey, you just get to know everything about it. The arena is a great idea. Its certainly worth a try and If the traffic at Jeff Yaos sports bar during a recent playoff game between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Boston Bruins is any indication of the potential of a hockey arena in Markham, the prospect is good. While ice hockey has traditionally been viewed as a white mans sport, many new immigrants, especially their children, have embraced it as part of the ritual of becoming Canadian, says Yao, who moved here from China in a decade ago.
