Hockey is a sport of unity and brotherhood. It has no place for differences and there should be mutual respect throughout leagues.
With the controversy that has sprung in the NCAA with Ohio State's Kamil Sadlocha has come to somewhat of a closure. According to sources, Ohio State has told Kamil Sadlocha to return home and not be part of the teams activities for the time being.
I want to offer my sincere and heartfelt apology to Jagger Joshua. On behalf of Ohio State University, I am so sorry.
No student or student-athlete should experience hatred or racism, and everyone should feel welcome. I have spoken with Michigan State Athletic Director Alan Haller, and I'm thankful Jagger is getting the support he needs.
Over the last week, the Department of Athletics has worked through this on-ice incident and spoken with Kamil Sadlocha and the rest of the team, and Kamil is returning home and will not practice or compete at this time.
I have met with the men's hockey team and will be meeting with them again soon to discuss our values. The team will complete education on racial sensitivity, diversity, equity, inclusion and the use of respectful dialog. The department and I will support them through this important process.
During an NCAA game between Ohio State and Michigan State, Kamil Sadlocha was caught by an official using a racial slurs to Jagger Joshua. After the NCAA decided to not enforce a punishment, Ohio State decided to send Kamil Sadlocha home on their own accord.
It would have been nice to see the Big 10 impose a punishment but at least Ohio State chose to handle this situation themselves.
