About this ebook
Even the most passionate lacrosse fans probably do not remember the Orillia Terriers, Montreal Shamrocks or even Vancouver Carlings, but in their times these teams were famous across Canada and even farther afield, always in the thick of the hunt for Minto or Mann Cup glory, winning national championships at least three times in ten-year periods. They were almost unbeatable and in Minto & Mann: The Untold Stories of Lacrosse’s Dynastic Teams, their stories are told for the first time by lacrosse historian and Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame board member W.B. MacDonald, the bestselling author of Salmonbellies vs. The World: The Most Famous Team in Lacrosse & Their Greatest Rivals.
