I was not happy with this tournament, it was a money grab for Hamilton Lacrosse because there was 12 teams in our age group and to only have a “A” final is wrong. We got beat by 2 very good teams and we should not be playing in the “A” final but our team would of done good in a “B” or “C” final. There was 2 refs we had that where brutal, I know it is very hard to get refs but if they have no idea about the game they should not be in these tournaments. I hope our team does not go back unless it changes the lay out.

I have to respectfully disagree. This was by far some of the best refereeing we have had all year. Were there mistakes, of course but they are human. We came up with a less than “A” team from the sarnia peewee pacers and I thought the boys did themselves proud. We lost all three games but all except the last on was close. We knew it was going to be very tough being that most teams were “A” caliber and we are ranked considerably less.
Congratulations to our team and to hamilton, we at least enjoyed our time there.
