An announcement Thursday night that the Senators Foundation and the Ottawa Senators Hockey Club are parting ways is expected to have no impact on the construction of the Sens Rink planned for Arnprior.
Arnprior Mayor Walter Stack says a flurry of emails has confirmed the planned local rink at Legion Park remains in the cards.
TSN and other media sources reported a statement from the Foundation yesterday advising that the 22-year association between the partners would come ot an end on July 31st of this year, but that the Foundation would focus on fulfilling its outstanding operational, legal and charitable obligations.
Under an arrangement reaffirmed in January of this year, the Town would be responsible for any fundraising shortfall for the planned local rink should one occur.
