But then I got offered Leafs vs Wings tix at BMO couple years ago because my coworker is related to a higher up at TSN.

Well I turned it down! Because I went to the alumni game the day before. And the big game was the next day but was basically a night game and like -5. Turns out my coworker left after two periods because he got too cold. And he's from Ottawa. Plus even though they were good seats, you're still far from the action so he had enough.
The games at IWS were fun. The AHL game had perfect winter conditions for the area. Topped 20,000 attendance.

The Alumni game the night before... was cold. Started out as a nice night, crisp with hardly any wind, and then light snow began partway through. But the temperature must have been well below -10. Still fun and entertaining.
