Joint Statement – Municipality of Leamington and Leamington Flyers

The Leamington Flyers and the Municipality of Leamington confirm that constructive discussions have recently taken place regarding the future of junior hockey in our community.

The Flyers have reaffirmed their intention to remain in Leamington for years to come, continuing to build a championship-calibre program and to contribute positively to the community and its passionate fan base. Both parties are committed to working collaboratively to finalize a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that supports the organization's long-term success and sustainability in Leamington.

While these discussions represent a positive step forward, the Flyers have expressed disappointment with how certain recent communications and decisions were made without prior consultation or engagement with the organization. Moving forward, both parties recognize the importance of maintaining a collaborative and transparent process.

Given these recent discussions, a Notice of Reconsideration regarding the decision to support the bid to host the 2027 Ontario Gymnastics Championship will be considered at the next Council meeting on March 24, 2026.

The Municipality and the Flyers share a common goal of supporting a strong and sustainable future for junior hockey in Leamington and are committed to continuing open, respectful, and productive dialogue in the best interests of the organization and the community.
