The New Westminster Salmonbellies know who they want to win for in tonight's seventh game of the Mann Cup series.
Chris Gill will play one of the last games of his career as the Bellies host the Brampton Excelsiors a do-or-die matchup for the Canadian lacrosse championship. The former Toronto Rock might try to return to the pro National Lacrosse League in the winter, but this is likely his last go-round at the senior level.
“Sixteen years is a long road,” said Gill. “It’s time for some young blood.”
The Excelsiors staved off elimination Friday, denying the Salmonbellies a record 25th Mann Cup title, as Dan Dawson scored with just 1.5 seconds left in a 10-minute overtime session to give Brampton a 9-8 win at Queen's Park Arena.
