Scope note(s)

  • Appleby's hockey programme suffered difficulties since the program was tied to the weather. Seeing a need for a covered hockey rink, Lady Edith Baillie led fundraising efforts. Appleby's new rink officially opened on January 22, 1927. Appleby's Old Boys' and Varsity Team took to the ice which resulted in a game-winning score of 7-4 for the Old Boys'. However, on the evening of January 14, 1945, the roof of the rink collapsed due to the weight of snow.
