In the aftermath of the brawl which marred the Canadian Senior Little League championship at Memorial Field back in August, Little League International has ruled Saint John will not host any more national tournaments until the city can provide better safety and security.

Mayor Ivan Court tells CHSJ News, this is a black eye for the entire community and doesn't believe the coaches from Saint John were treated fairly and if Little League International wants more security at its games, then it should make it part of its constitution.  

Court says this won't stop city officials from moving forward to attract more National and International sporting events for the area.
