The latest drama involves damaging the replica Memorial Cup. Cataractes defenseman Dillon Donnelly admitted yesterday on
Twitter that he is to blame for the damage.
“Breaking the Memorial Cup was an accident,” tweeted the Colorado
Avalanche prospect. “I picked it up lost my balance and dropped it, there was
no intention to break it, I'm sorry.”
According to Le Nouvelliste’s Steve Turcotte, Donnelly
will have to pay to have the trophy fixed, write an apology to the three
Canadian Hockey League commissioners and his teammates, and has been suspended by the team until
September 3. Yikes.
The most unfortunate part of this saga is that several
members of the championship team will not be able to have their day with the
Cup. The Canadian Press reports that it is off to Toronto for repairs.
As Buzzing The Net points out, Vincent Arseneau voiced
his displeasure about the damage on his Facebook page. Arseneau was scheduled
to have the Memorial Cup on August 6.
What a mess.
