Arena Commillee Sialement On "Truckmen" Nove March 9th, 1954 At an Arena Management Committee meeting held in the Arena an Tuesday, March 9th, with ALL MEMBERS present it was unanimously agreed that the following statement be issued stating the Ai-ena Committee's position regarding the Oshawa "Truckmen" moving their playoff games from Bowmanville ice. Due to the team finding itself in an unfortunate financial position the Directars of the Hockey Club feit they were farced to make this move. Neither the Arena Committee nor the "Truckmen" Hockey Club feel that this is any reflection on the Bawmanville fans who support- ed the team very well. The difficulty arose due to the team management's inability to seil the proportion of season subseriber tickets in Oshawa they had anticipated. The Arena Committee feel that under the circumstances the Club was justified in the action taken but regret that the fans and the Rink Committee were flot taken into their confidence in their planning before the decision was made. The "Truckmen" yoluntarily reimbursed the Arena ta the extent of $100.00 ta caver expenses incurred by the transferring of the playoff game of Saturday, March 6th ta Kingston. The Arena Management Committee sincerely wish the "Truckmen" ail success in their quest for the Senior "B" titie. Arena Management Committee, Community Memorial Ai-ena, Bowmanville, Oshawa "Directors"" Siatement On "Truckmen" NMove (Off iciai press reicase regarding transfcr of ail Oshawa Truckmen home games to othcr centres). 1 At a sub-committee meeting of the directors of the Oshawa Senior Hockey Club held eariy Wednesday, it was unanimously agreed that ail future ames wauid be moved out ai the Bawmanvilic Ai-ena. The move was brought on by the ridicuiousiy small attendance being accorded the club by fans in this area; particularly from Oshawa. At their first home play-off game piayed on Tuesday nîght ai this week, the total advance sale ai tickets in Oshawa was only $77.00. Kings-. ton fans and officiais of the Goodyear Hockey Club who were present et that game remarked "that the turnout af fans ta a play-off game of a team. who had flot only led the, Icague ail year but had suffered numerous other set- backs foiiowing the Oshawa Ai-ena fi-e, was disgusting and certainiy no credit ta the people af Oshawa. One officiai stated that yau'd think the people would be very proud of those connected with the Oshawa club for the fighting spii-it they have dispiayed this ycar in cantinuing ta operate after they lost everything in the fire. We doubt if wc in Kingston could have donc the saine. The Oshawa club has been a i-cal asset ta the, icague and no anc connccted with this graup would want ta sec them leave. Therefore if Oshawa wiil not support thein we wili al iend assistance by offering aur arenas and aur fans for their support. Officia]s of the Oshawa Club were very sincere ini their appreciation af these other centres for the under- standing they have shown. The club, including the players, were deeply grate. fui ta Mr. Bob Watt, chairman, and Mr-. Cliff Samis, sec- retary of the Bownmanville Ai-ena, as well as the i-est of the cornmittee and the entire ai-ena staff for thei- co-oper- ation, hard work and understanding throughout the season, who did cverything passible ta meke the Truckmen's move ta Bowmanville a success. They also wished ta thank the 'fans who have supported them alI year. They wcre the same fans game ai ter game and for their sake, the move was regrettable. Players of the club who heard aiter the game in Kingston Wedncsday night that the club was rnoving steted that they were one hundred per cent behind the decision made by the directors. There was nothing else they could do and we have ail wondercd why it hasn't been donc sooner, anc player said.
