The Arnprior Packers are on the cusp of turning sixty years old as a franchise.
Donaven Welk is club president.
After a 37-5 season last year, Welk says the Packers are looking to increase their strength from the U18 ranks for the coming season.
The new coach is Hamish Frazier, previously with the Carleton Place Junior Canadians.
Donevan Welk says there’s a good balance of returning players and new acquisitions.
Has the been a Packer club more successful than the one iced last season?
Welk says the Arnprior Packers are a storied EOJHL group and the Green Shirts want to reciprocate to the community they play in.
He says the experiment of regulated alcohol at games that began last year worked out very well.
Donaven Welk says purchasing the Packers has been a win-win experience.
