Not really Roughnecks related, but no sense starting another lacrosse thread. The current impasse between CLA and the national team is such crap http://www.insidelacrosse.com/articl...n-israel/52150

It already sucks that worlds moved from England to Israel at the last minute (was planning on attending in England), now there is a risk that Canada won't even be there to contest for its national sport. The CLA board is completely dysfunctional and needs to be changed out in my opinion.

A lot of this stems back to CLA getting wrapped up in a fraudulent tax scheme with fake receipts and losing their charitable status. Has made it very tough to raise money at the national level. https://www.thepeterboroughexaminer....y-status-back/

Yeah, I realize this is a bit of a low profile problem in a less popular sport. But the last world's four years ago in Denver was some amazing lacrosse. A real showcase of how great the game can be played. Having no Canadian national team isn't good for Canadian lacrosse or for the growth of the game internationally.
