Wild Fight Leads to Player being Suspended indefinitely in the OHL
A player in the Ontario Hockey League has been suspended indefinitely following a heated game between rivals the London Knights and Sarnia Sting.
The game last night was already getting out of hand when Sarnia goaltender Karsen Chartier decided to come out of his net and hit Knights forward Kaeden Johnston. Johnson's teammates weren't impressed, and it led to a fight between the Stings' Cooper Way, and the Knights Ryder Boulton, the son of former NHL enforcer Eric Boulton. It was a barn-burner, with Boulton taking several punches to the side of the head.While he was not involved in the fight, it was announced after the game had ended that London's Max McCue has been suspended indefinitely.
"#OHL Disciplinary Action: London's Max McCue has been suspended indefinitely as a result of actions on Dec. 29th vs. Sarnia."
It's not exactly clear what happened, but the game sheet shows McCue was ejected for abuse of an official. If it was something he said, it must have been pretty bad for an indefinite suspension.
McCue had scored twice in the game to extend his goal-scoring streak to nine games in total, the longest for London in a while.
"Max McCue expands multipoint game streak to six after scoring game's first two goals. Lengthens goal streak to nine, circuit's longest this year and London's longest since Liam Foudy hit 10 in January, 2019. 3rd winner in last four, tied 4th in League with 5. 3rd with 66 PIM."
