EDIT: Too slow. Oh well!
If this is true as MRU claims, then in their minds they thought they had iced a legal roster, only to find out post-game that they hadn't. It doesn't sound like they intentionally iced him and hoped to get away with it.
“We talked to a league official at the game and he told us, ‘Any Mount Royal student registered in any class is eligible on an emergency basis,’” Glass said. “We were given, what, 20 hours to find someone? We thought we found someone who met those requirements and they want to disqualify us because they think he’s ineligible now? Frustrating, to say the least.
“We felt we talked to the right people at the right time to make our decision.”
