An historical moment: In the 1930-31 OHA Intermediate Playoffs Camp Borden was playing a series against Royal Military College in Kingston. The Camp Borden team (all air force pilots) actually flew their own aircraft to the game. This was probably the first time that a hockey team flew itself to a game.
