Awarding of the Trophy

This article is about the awarding of the Mann Cup and not about the professional championships that were awarded a different trophy from the years 1933 to 1934. Therefore it is accurate to say that the Mann Cup was awarded for field or outdoor lacrosse until 1935. 206.188.56.88 19:11, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Regarding the above comment, there is no documented evidence that field lacrosse rules were used for the Mann Cup championships beyond 1931. All doceumented evidence, such as newspapers, proves that box lacrosse rules were used in and after 1932. --Davidjsc (talk) 00:20, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

1916 & 1917

I'm with the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame (person responsible for acquisitions and archives) and I'm trying to ascertain what happened in 1916 and 1917 for the champion. There was no lacrosse played on the West Coast that season, so the cup wasn't put up for challenges - however, at this point I'm unsure whether New Westminster could still claim titles for 1916 and 1917. At some point this week, I will go and check the actual Mann Cup in the hall (the original cup, not the replica that's handed out to the teams) and see if there is any reference to 1916 and 1917. Depending on what the trophy says, I may edit those two years. User:Davidjsc 14:21, 2 October 2013

I checked the original Mann Cup located at the CLHOF tonight and it does have a single plaque on it saying NEW WESTMINSTER 1915-1916-1917. So even though there was no competition for the trophy in 1916 and 1917 years, based on what the trophy says, the Canadian Lacrosse Association and Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame recognise New Westminster as the champions in those years.

1915 should read "no finalist" as there was competition for the trophy through three-team league play but no playoffs or challenges - hence no 'finalist' that year. 1916 and 1917 should read "no competition due to First World War" because there was no actual competition for the trophy so New Westminster basically hung on to the trophy those two years.

OK... sounds good... but I am going to shorten first world war to "WWI" and wikilink it to cut back on stretching of the table margins. DMighton (talk) 23:05, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
