Oshawa Generals Apologizing After Sending Letter Asking Smelly Fans to Shower Before Game
Oshawa Generals urge fans to shower, use hand sanitizer, and stay home if sick after multiple hygiene complaints disrupted game-day comfort.
- On Thursday, the Oshawa Generals apologized after sending a Tuesday email to season ticket holders asking them to `clean up their act` before games at the Tribute Communities Centre.
- Jason Hickman said the notice followed repeated complaints about fans complaining about odour, noting issues like `smelling like cat pee, bad breath, this, that and everything else` increased last month.
- The email asked fans to shower if they went to the gym or did something that produced body odour and urged use of hand-sanitizing stations, covering coughs, and mindful cleanliness to protect community health.
- After the letter circulated on social platforms, CBC News reached out to Hickman and the Generals' media spokesperson, while social media users called the release `bonkers` or shook their heads.
- With the Generals holding the CHL's worst record, team officials described the note as simple hygiene to protect community health and keep events running smoothly.
