EMehaltonmm ‘unbelievable feeling”: O’Connor By Steve LeBlanc CANADIAN CHAMPION STAFF Feeling like "world beaters' after an unprecedented Major Series Lacrosse (MSL) championship comeback victory, Ethan O’Connor ad- mits he and his Six Nations too confident heading into the Mann Cup. 'Losing that second game (to B.C.'s Maple Ridge Bur- rards), and the way we lost it. was probably the best thing for us,’ suggested the ‘ 24-year-old Miltonian. who along with Dan and Paul Dawson were trad- ed to Six Nations from struggling Brampton i in July. 'It set us right.‘ Ethan O'Connor proudly holds the national Mann Cup. WM Four nights later (Wednesday) O'Connor and I the host Chiefs were passing around Cana- da’s Senior ‘A’ lacrosse championship trophy after clinching a four-games-to-one series . win with a convincing 14-6 triumph. ' Six Nations scored five unanswered goals in L\oth the second and third period en route to claiming their third Mann Cup in four years. ”it’s unbelievable. To go from losing six or seven straight games with Brampton to holding the Mann Cup... it’s still set- ting in,’ said the 6-foot~l, 185-pounder, who filled primarily a defensive role with the Chiefs this sea- son, but also saw some time on the transition. No doubt excited to join the perennial contender Chiefs, O’Connor recorded two goals and a pair of as- sists in the national cham- pionship series and â€" overall â€" felt he turned in some of his best efforts in recent years against Maple Ridge. 'I think I settled in well with Six Nations and was able to oontribute,’ said the Toronto Rock's first-round draft pick of 2013. still soaking in his first major championship since helping lead the Halton Hllls Bulldogs to the Jr. 8 Founders Cup in 2010. O'Connor noted that it was fortunate Ontario ’ was the host for this year's nationals, given that he'd just started a new job with Scotla- bank in Niagara â€" to be closer to his fiancee â€"- and may not have been able to get time off to go out west. « § _ ,4, .
