The new merch drop honors “the legendary athletes who have shaped the city’s sports and culture,” per a press release. The ten-piece collection includes hoodies, t-shirts, and basketball and hockey jerseys featuring OVO branding, in partnership with the Raptors and the NHL’s Toronto Maple Leafs.

OVO is launching the collection with a campaign highlighting three Toronto favorites: former Toronto Maples Leafs captain Mats Sundin and former Raptors Muggsy Bogues and Morris Peterson.

The Hometown Heroes collection will be able to shop on the OVO website and at OVO flagship stores in the US, Canada, and UK, starting today, September 27, at 10 a.m. ET. Prices range from $68 to $198 USD.

Meanwhile, it was recently reported that on multiple occasions, Drake has turned down an invitation to perform at the Super Bowl Halftime Show. Jamil “Mal” Clay of the New Rory & Mal podcast claimed, “Drake has been offered the Super Bowl show for some years now and has turned it down. Probably four years, he’s been offered to perform at the Super Bowl, said no for whatever reason.”

Drake is having a great time right now. His tour just ended and his album just came out, as well. Overall, For All The Dogs has been a massive commercial success. Critically, it has proven to be a bit polarizing. However, he is marching forward with some big streaming numbers. In fact, he is now tied with Michael Jackson for most number-one songs. This is a massive accomplishment, and fans continue to be amazed by what he has done. Now, however, he is on a hiatus.

The real Drake stans out there know that he is celebrating his birthday, very soon. On October 24th, Drizzy will be turning 37 years old. It is almost hard to fathom that the artist is in his middle age right now. In three years, he will be 40 years old, which puts him close to legacy act status. That said, it seems like the artist wants to do something cool for his birthday. According to HipHop-N-More, he will be giving away free food at Dave’s Hot Chicken.
