How each member voted
The recitals
- the Ottawa Charge are one of Ottawa’s fastest growing sports teams
- the Ottawa Charge play an important role in showing what is possible for young girls in Ottawa and across Canada
- the Ottawa Charge is in the final year of the current lease
- the PWHL has yet to be shown the technical plans for the new arena, eroding their ability to propose building capacity alterations and/or plan for future use
- the current projected decrease in capacity within the arena will make it unviable for the Ottawa Charge and the PWHL
