Silly Canadians



In the US of A, lacrosse is mostly a sport for young men and women still enrolled in some form of academia. In Canada, it's for real men. Before today I didn't know of the existence of a professional lacrosse league in Canada, nor did I really care. However, that has changed now that Game One of the Mann Cup (seriously) is over.

A quick synopsis if I may. One of the stars for the Brampton Excelsiors (ManBearPig anyone?), Colin Doyle, was hit hard by a New Westminster Salmon-belly (Odd) and as he was being looked at by trainers, some players began grumbling about the event. One thing led to another and well, this happened.

Some pretty intense action for a lacrosse game I must say. It seems strange that this type of reaction would ensue but I guess its to be expected when you are vying for the now infamous Mann Cup. Fear not Excelsior fans, Doyle returned for Game 2 and helped even the series with two goals and four assists.
