  • Founders Cup 2014 Halifax NS
    Founders Cup 2014 Halifax NS I was the ALA Representative at the 2014 Founders Cup. As the ALA Rep I had to report to Doug Luey who was the CLA Convenor for the 2014 Founders Cup with any questions he might have for team Alberta. I sat on the Discipline committee with Dave Veron from the OLA and Doug Luey. We only had 1 issue to deal with and that was with a Coach from Six Nations who ended up with a 2 game suspension for his actions. The host committee group lead by Kevan Mills did a real good job keeping all the teams happy. Transportation seemed to work fine for the teams to make it to the rink on time. All the games were played at the Halifax Forum once they got the lights turned up the rink seemed fine. I did not think the games were well attended not many people in the stands. There were 3 teams from the RMLL. TBS Rampage Alberta, Swat Saskatoon, Blizzard Manitoba The start of the games TBS Rampage played Nova Scotia Rampage came up short in a 10-9 Loss to start the 2014 Founders Cup. Game 2 TBS Rampage played Saskatchewan Swat and came away with 10-7 Win good game back and forth.
