Mt. Royal Cougars stripped of title
Quote:
In an unprecedented move, Game 5 of the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference men’s hockey final will be replayed because the Mount Royal University Cougars dressed an ineligible player for the contest, Global TV reported on Tuesday night.
The Cougars hoisted the championship trophy on Sunday after blanking the SAIT Trojans 1-0 in the deciding game of the best-of-five series.
Backup goalie Brett Bothwell earned the shutout, filling in for injured starter Justin Cote.
But the problem is the Cougars dressed a new backup, who was ruled an ineligible player after the fact, despite not seeing game action.
According to Global’s report, the game will be replayed on Saturday at SAIT Campus Arena at 6 p.m.

Bob McKenzie pretty much summed up my thoughts as well:
Quote:
If I were Mount Royal, I know what I would do. Not play the game. Give the title to SAIT if it means that much to them. Didn't earn it, tho.
