Maybe I can go for partial credit on this one. Seems to me that Wren Blair was trying to get Saginaw an OHL franchise for some time before Richard Garber got involved. I know he was involved with the Kingston team so my guess is he brought a pre-season game here involving Kingston. Have no idea who the other team could have been.

I think it was Windsor v. Kingston. I remember big Eric Cairns playing for the Spitfires

Partial credit given.
Yes, Wren brought Kingston here in 1991 to play an exhibition game against the Detroit Ambassadors (currently Plymouth). What a game! It was a nice warm Saturday afternoon and there were 3500 people there watching two teams they had never heard of.
Wren was ready to bring in the O then but Tom Kirconnel beat him to it with the wonderful CoHL. Just think where we would be today if tom had not interfered!

Did we ever even have a crowd of 3,500 for any CoHL/UHL games here?  |
