Murphy said he gave Urban Rec plenty of advance notice and even asked to contact the opposing team himself to explain the situation. But in an exchange of emails the company told Murphy the Cobras were still expected to pay the $200. On Nov. 12, the day after the cancelled game, Urban Rec emailed Murphy a request to "settle up the default," so the team could be put back on the schedule. "My team [is] literally listening to the guideline set out to us from the powers that be and are being punished for it," Murphy told CBC. Lang said Urban Rec has had a COVID-19 opt out policy in place since July 1.
