English River Miners (Documentary Teaser)
Ear Falls is a town located in North-Western Ontario, off the main hallway. It is a small community with a population of around 1200 people. However that number is no longer accurate due to continuous closures of main industries. As a result, a slow decline in the population occurred until 2008 where it happened dramatically. By 2011, after school programs for kids were barely in existent, as well as social event for families in general. Ear Falls literally felt frozen from isolation until 2012 where the newly elected mayor proposed initiating a junior league hockey team in Ear Falls. With many obstacles including money, and lack of faith from the community, the English River Miners team was born in the late summer of 2013. The first home game attracted about 300 people, filling the Ear Falls recreation center to the max. The most crowded I've ever seen the arena throughout my whole life.
