Pardon me Mr. Mann-ers

If the NLL forums have taught us anything lately, it’s that just because you think it doesn’t mean you should type it we love a good trophy controversy. And now to join the prestigious company of the Champion’s Cup and its Talladega Nights twin and the only reason anyone will ever remember that the Spokane Chiefs won the Memorial Cup, I present to you: the Mann Cup sitting on a plastic chair.

Yes, the defending Mann Cup Champion Peterborough Lakers held a Mann Cup ceremony and placed the prestigious (replica) trophy on a plastic chair in the middle of the floor. Oh well, better on a chair than in a bonfire, am I right?

You better believe they’ve got video.

Anyway, it’s a little humorous and easy to poke fun at but the record was set straight today and as you can imagine that isn’t how the organization wanted the ceremony to go. Turns out, they were just trying to help out the lone Mountie who otherwise would’ve been stuck holding the trophy by himself for the entire proceedings.
