Going Green at the Mann Cup
Return to Blog Home
Get ready for a Mann Cup experience like no other. Out are plastic bottles of water on the team benches, synthetic fabric for uniforms and detergent to wash ‘em, along with individual showers.
Sound ridiculous? Maybe it is, and that’s because Don Barrie of The Peterborough Examiner offers a tongue-in-cheek look at how the Mann Cup might be played under the ‘go green’ mandate. It’ll be easy enough to return to a bucket of water with a dipper on the bench, cotton uniforms and a dip in the Otonabee River to replace showers. Unless the fellas wanna crowd into the shower together, because Barrie proposes the shower water be available for just three minutes to, you know, conserve. What’s behind Barrie’s opinion? Let’s just say it’s got something to do with the Lakers losing federal funding for a lacrosse camp for kids while finding out that a Canadian artist received a $95,000 grant “to fly a banana.”
