Manitoba Moose News Release


The Manitoba Moose would like to issue the following statement regarding the events in Houston on the night of November 2, 2003:

On the evening of November 2, 2003, two members of the Manitoba Moose Hockey Club, defenceman Martin Grenier and forward Jason Lehoux, were standing outside a Houston restaurant/bar when they were approached by several youths. They were subsequently attacked from behind by several more. Reports indicate the number of individuals involved was as high as 12. Both police and ambulance personnel were called into attendance. Both players were treated in hospital for a number of contusions and were subsequently released. The players report no previous contact with the group in question and the reason for the attack is unknown. Our players in no way, shape or form took any action to provoke such an attack.

"The Manitoba Moose Hockey Club will make our best efforts to determine whether any further legal action is required," said Moose General Manager Craig Heisinger.
