Over the last few years, Mann Cup
series have seen some serious climbing up the all-time scoring
charts. Last year's big mover was Shawn Evans, whose 31 points
bumped him from 56 and a tie for 50th in all-time Mann
scoring to 87 and a tie for 22nd. A pair of other
Peterborough Lakers moved closer to the very top of the list. Scott
Evans' 15 points took him from 9th to 5th
with a total of 118. John Grant, Jr. was already third among
the elite group of scorers in Mann Cup history, but his 30 points
leapfrogged him over legendary Geordie Dean into second place with
174 points.
This year, there's only one player who
will likely be making a big mark in the scoring history books. Six
Nations' Colin Doyle currently sits tied for 10th
spot with 49 goals and 53 assists for 102 points. He has a realistic
shot at taking over 4th from former Shamrocks'
great Gary Gait, who finished his career with 120.
