The Arnprior Rivermen call the Nick Smith Centre home, and have done so since 2022.
Doug Twining plays an important role with the franchise.
The Rivermen, who first hit the ice in Kinburn at the Sensplex, were one of the “Original Four” in the Eastern Ontario Super League when it began play five years ago.
Twining shares that history, and looks ahead.
While the “Original Four” have seen that number quadruple, there’s as yet no end in sight.
Twining says EOSL players have differing pedigrees.
And there will be some names longtime Arnprior Packers fans will be familiar with.
We asked Twining whether with the tighter division, does this make for better rivalries?
Is fan support commensurate with the quality of play?
Doug Twining says in the EOSL the Playoff face-off circle includes everybody.
Your next chance to catch the Arnprior Rivermen in action is Saturday at 7:30PM at the Nick Smith Centre, versus the Pontiac Senior Comets from Fort Coulonge.
