A championship lacrosse game in Whitby, Ont., earlier this month was marred by violence during the game and one of the Whitby team’s coaches raising his middle finger to an eight-year-old player on the opposing team.
A team from Six Nations, a Haudenosaunee community near Hamilton, faced the Whitby Warriors in the U9 box lacrosse provincial championships (for players ages seven and eight) Aug. 8 in Whitby, 40 kilometres east of Toronto.
The Warriors received two travesty of game penalties and a Whitby player and fan were ejected from the game. The team was also handed four other major penalties not counting the travesty of game calls.
