Collingwood Admirals

It is with regret that we announce the Ontario Hockey Association was unsuccessful in an appeal hearing launched by the Stayner Siskins. The appeal challenged the OHA's right within their constitution to grant Collingwood a Junior hockey team. While the OHA's constitution was the pretence of this appeal, Stayner's public position is that there are not enough players to support a team in Collingwood. Stayner offered to withdraw their appeal against the OHA on the condition th...e Admirals adhere to specific terms concerning the draw area for players who could sign in Collingwood. Ultimately our decision was to accept these terms, however, Stayner refused to honour the agreement. After losing an appeal on July 11 involving the Tecumseh Chiefs, which challenged the same parts of the OHA constitution, Stayner's appeal was not contested by the OHA at a hearing in Cambridge on July 14. The result is that the Admirals have been forced into an indefinite hiatus. The Collingwood Admirals Hockey Club are committed to providing a Junior hockey experience for hometown talent. We will continue pursuit of a new chapter in Collingwood's proud 100+ year hockey history. On behalf of the team's Executive, Management and Coaching Staff, we thank everyone--in particular Collingwood Minor Hockey-- for their support.
