This geocache is not at the Yetman Hockey Arena, the posted coordinates. Nonetheless, it is nearby. To get the accurate coordinates you must solve the puzzle which follows based upon some iconic professional sports jersey numbers
The cache was hidden on the weekend of the 2020 Daytona 500, the NBA All-Star Game and Skills Competitions, as well as the passing of Toronto Blue Jays icon, Tony Fernandez. So with lots of talk of Kobe and Tony Ferndandez, the idea for this cache came to light.
This geocache can be found at the accurate coordinates of:
N A B.CDE W F G.HI
Where A through I are found by considering a bit of simple math along with the jersey numbers for the following players.
In some cases, the players have changed teams and / or jersey numbers thoughout their careers, so in each case a reference team / era is given for each puzzle.
Here goes!
For A, consider these Toronto BLue Jays legends:
Tony Fernandez + Joe Carter + Roberto Alomar + Rance Mulliniks
For B, consider Kobe Bryant and his daughter, Gianna:
Kobe's first Lakers number + Kobe's second Laker's number + Gianna's jersey number
For C, consider these Habitants de Montréal:
Ken Dryden - Guy Lafleur - Larry Robinson
For D, consider these iconic Montréal Expos:
Steve Rogers - Andre Dawson - Tim Raines - Reid Nichols
For E, consider these champion Edmonton Oilers:
Wayne Gretzky - Jari Kurri - Mark Messier - Grant Fuhr - Andy Moog
For F, consider the 2019 Larry O'B winning Toronto Raptors:
Pascal Siakam + Kyle Lowry + Kawhi Leonard
For G, consider the champion 1979 Boston Bruins:
Bobby Orr + Rick Middleton + Jean Ratelle + Wayne Cashman
For H, consider the Stanley Cup dynasty New York Islanders:
Mike Bossy + Bryan Trottier + Billy Smith + John Tonelli - Denis Potvin (careful... there's a subtraction in there at the end)
For I, consider these Harold Ballard era Toronto Maple Leafs:
Mike Palmateer + Borje Salming - Tiger Williams - Darryl Sittler
