Mann Cup Update
Lacrosse Canada is aware of a situation related to the Victoria Shamrocks with regards to adding two players for the 2024 Mann Cup in Six Nations that begins tomorrow, Friday, September 6th.
Lacrosse Canada was presented with a policy change to 24.3.2.2 at the Semi Annual meeting to allow BCLA (British Columbia Lacrosse Association) to become a Type 2 association for Sr A National Championships. This motion was carried at the sector level.
However, the Board of Directors still had not voted on this policy change and an immediate vote was held yesterday September 4th, 2024 by all Board members. The requested policy change did not pass, therefore BCLA will remain as a Type 1 rating and the Victoria Shamrocks will not be able to pick up players to their roster for the 2024 Mann Cup.
