BOUCHERVILLE, Sunday, March 21, 2010 - The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League Disciplinary Prefect, Raymond Bolduc, today announced that Moncton Wildcats left-winger Scott Trask has been suspended fifteen games for a hit to the head involving Saint John Sea Dogs forward Aidan Kelly. The incident occurred last Sunday in Moncton.
"The bar has been set, and we will continue to be very stern regarding hits to the head. The safety and well-being of our players is the main focus of the League's efforts," said QMJHL Commissioner Gilles Courteau. "We remain in contact with the Sea Dogs in order to get updates on Aidan's health and progress."
The decision was rendered after reviewing the videotape of the incident, gathering the testimonies of the players and members of both organizations, reading the official's report and consulting the independent committee in the matter of disciplinary sanctions.
