The Carlton Rink opened in Harbor Grace on January 7, 1901. "Several skaters have formed a hockey club, and nightly before the regular hour of opening have practice, so much that a good team is now shaped out. Messrs. G.R. Veits, Frank McRae, R. Parsons, R. Martin and A. Cameron are the leading spirits in the new game, and ere long the far-famed hockey will be a feature among the tough skaters."[1]

"A Hockey match was played in the Carlton Rink last night between a scratch team of beginners and a team picked from the two clubs that have been playing all the winter. The 'Greenhorns' showed very good form and with a little practice would make a first-rate team. The result was a surprise to all,-the score standing 5 goals to nil. Mr. A.G. Munn as referee and Messrs. J.J. Murphy and Paul Higgins as Goal Judges, filled their respective positions admirably."[2]
