Default The Minto Cup has turned into a disaster

Being played this week at Max Bell. At the end of game 1 of the final on Tuesday, Brampton's coach and best player (the coach's son) were both given match penalties - and automatic three game suspensions - for allegedly threatening an official. Brampton appealed prior to game 2, and the suspension for the player was overturned. Consequently, the officials went on wildcat strike and refused to come out for yesterday's game, causing it to be postponed. It is now supposed to be played tonight, but there is no agreement that the referees will show up tonight either. 90 minutes to game time, and nobody has any idea what is happening.

It's become a major embarrassment for the Canadian Lacrosse Association and the sport as a whole
