No charges in Windsor Express, Halifax Rainmen fight

A fight between members of the Windsor Express and Halifax Rainmen Thursday at the WFCU Centre led to a police call but no charges.

Windsor police responded to a call about a fight between 15 and 20 people at 10:40 a.m.

When officers arrived, the fight was over and many of the people had already left.

The Halifax Rainmenwere on their teambus.

There were no reports of injuries and no one wished to complain to police.

A Windsor Express assistant coach said the altercation happened after Express staff found the Rainmen practising in the WFCU Centre more than two hours before their scheduled 1 p.m. practice time.

Words were exchanged, punches and chairs were thrown and the Rainmen left, refusing to play Game 7 of the National Basketball League of Canada championship series.

The league declared Windsor champion.
