BREAKING: Top Junior Team Under Investigation due to shocking allegations
In a new development, we learned that one of the top junior teams in Canada is under investigation for serious allegations.
Sudbury Under Investigation For Bounty On Barrie Player
The OHL announced earlier today that they will be investigating the Sudbury Wolves for allegedly placing bounties on opponents.
Jeff Marek reported that in a game between Sudbury and the Barrie Colts, defenseman Kashawn Aitcheson landed a solid, but legal hit on Wolves' Nathan Villeneuve then had to fight against Nolan Collins.
Both teams met again a few days later, and the Colts decided to scratch Aitcheson after the organization heard rumors that the Wolves wanted to retaliate on him.
In Marek's words:
During a Sudbury/Barrie game on Jan. 18, Colts defenceman Kashawn Aitcheson delivered a hard, but legal, hit to Wolves forward Nathan Villeneuve. There was no penalty on the play. Aitcheson then fought one of Villeneuve's teammates, Nolan Collins.
The two teams played again three days later, but Barrie did not dress Aitcheson. According to those sources, word reached the Colts about the possibility of a bounty being placed on Aitcheson, so the organization made a decision not to play him.
Updates will follow.
