Many Sudbury hockey parents are upset after they showed up to the Sudbury Community Arena on Saturday to piles of garbage left in the stands from the Wolves game the night before.
The Sudbury Lady Wolves U15AA, a competitive minor hockey team, hosted the Barrie Sharks for its season home opener Saturday at 1:30 p.m.
Lisanne Gauld, whose daughter plays for the Sudbury team, said she was embarrassed, sad and disappointed to see the state of the arena the team rented for their game.
She posted photos of the piles of trash under the seats and on the stairs in the aisles calling them "shameful and disgusting."
"As if we don’t have enough trouble getting out-of-town teams to come up north to play hockey, soccer, etc., etc… Our city is already way behind the times for facilities, venues, etc. for our talented, amazing athletes here in the north," Gauld said.
"What do you think the Barrie team, coaches and parents were saying (and thinking) seeing our 'main city arena' in this state? What an embarrassment!! Our shoes even stuck to the ground."
