Varsity Storm forfeit

It finally caught up with the varsity Niagara Storm team.

The team has been facing an insurmountable challenge.Β  Playing with a shortened bench since the beginning of the Ontario Football Conference (OFC) as well as dealing with attendance issues proved to be too much. Β Consequently, the Storm made the tough decision to forfeit their June 29th, 2013 game against the Guelph Bears.

β€œThe Varsity Storm has been challenged by numbers all season long due to injuries and poor attendance, and so far this season, they have played every game with a short bench,” said James Ryan.Β  β€œDue to the impending long-weekend, there were simply too many players that weren’t planning to be at the game.”

β€œAs a result, Head Coach Brian B.J. Malott was forced to make the difficult, but necessary decision to forfeit the game. The Niagara Storm apologizes to the Guelph Bears organization and their players.”
