On September 8, 2009, Matt Damon hosted a concert in support of the charity ONEXONE. It was the first concert at Maple Leaf Gardens in 8 years. The arena was used on May 8, 2009 for the International Gay and Lesbian Travel Association's convention tradeshow. Also in 2009, the arena was used as the venue for the first season of "Battle of the Blades", a CBC-produced reality competition pairing former NHL hockey players with professional figure skaters in a pairs figure skating competition.
