Colorado Mammoth goalie’s equipment stolen on eve of playoff game
DENVER – The Colorado Mammoth are scrambling after their starting goaltender’s equipment was stolen two days before a playoff game.
Dillon Ward’s only set of gear was taken Thursday night from outside his home. The timing isn’t good for the Mammoth — the team leaves Friday morning for their West Division semifinal against the Calgary Roughnecks on Saturday.
“I’ve been in the league for 20 years and this is a first,” said Mammoth general manager Steve Govett in a statement.
“I don’t know who, in their right mind, would want smelly lacrosse goalie gear. Now we’re up against a real deadline to try to find a solution and to give Dillon a chance to make his post-season debut.”
