The lifelong Bowmanville Bowmanville resident was particularly touched to be one of the first. "We're all pretty proud to be one of the charter members," he said. Cowan was quick to point out, however, without the efforts of some dedicated volunteers, the evening would not have been possible. "You never thought that there'd ever be a sports hall of fame," he said. "But an organizing committee made it happen. They're the ones who deserve all the credit." Crosby said events like Saturday's Saturday's can serve to be a unifying force to help establish a community identity. This is helpful especially for Clarington, an amalgamation of several smaller and larger towns. "Sometimes it's tough to identify Clarington as Clarington," he pointed pointed out. Mutton expressed optimism the event's popularity could grow to the point where organizers might need to look to another site to host the induction induction ceremonies. "Do we need a larger venue than 350 people?" he asked. "We might."

"It's something we have discussed and obviously we're not happy with our home record," said general manager manager Perry Bowles of the team's struggles struggles at home. "We compete hard on the road, but at home maybe we try and be too fancy and not play the system system we should." The weekend leaves the Eagles in a three-way tie for third place in the East Conference with a 7-6-2-3 mark. A closer look at the record reveals the team is an impressive 4-1-2-2 on the road, but a disappointing 3-5-0-1 at the Garnet B. Rickard Recreation Complex. Complex.
