Statement from the Belleville Bulls: To Our Fans & Community
November 6, 2014 - Ontario Hockey League (OHL)
Belleville Bulls News Release
BELLEVILLE, ON - The Belleville Bulls organization shares our league and community's deep concern for the behaviour exposed this week that contravenes league policy governing use of social networking and the standards our team expects from the student athletes we are developing to represent our team and our community.
The Belleville Bulls' organization is committed to respect. We support a clear message that such disrespect will not be tolerated. We will continue to challenge our team members to higher levels of respect for those both on and off the ice.
Our captain, Jake Marchment, fully understands that his words and actions have hurt others this week. Despite his terrible mistake, our team believes in this person and in his potential for leadership in life as well as on the ice. We hope Jake's apology this week, the remorse he feels for his actions, the lessons he's learned and the process now required as he answers to his family and friends, the league, his teammates, our organization, and the community we represent, all together will signify a critical step in his positive personal development moving forward.
