Yeo reinstated for Game 4
March 29, 2006 - Western Hockey League (WHL)
Brandon Wheat Kings News Release
Brandon, Manitoba - The Brandon Wheat Kings could have 18-year old defenceman Theran Yeo in the lineup Thursday night when they play host to the Moose Jaw Warriors in game four of their best of seven Western Hockey League Eastern Division semi-final series at the MTS Centre in Winnipeg.
The WHL has announced that the Prince Albert native has been hit with a one-game suspension for his part in a post-game incident at the Moose Jaw Civic Centre following game two of the series Saturday night. After scoring what proved to be the game winning goal in the third period to even the series, Moose Jaw fans showered the Wheat Kings with water bottles, with several fans racing down from the stands to ice level to confront Brandon players as they were leaving the ice.
Yeo was suspended for throwing a punch after he'd been punched by a Moose Jaw fan. The Warriors meanwhile were slapped with a $2,500 fine - the largest fine allowable under league bylaws - for inadequate security that allowed fans access to the Wheat Kings.
Wednesday's decision by the WHL followed further review of videotape evidence.
Without Yeo in the lineup Monday night, the Wheat Kings defeated Moose Jaw 3-2 at the MTS Centre in Winnipeg on Monday night, to take a 2-1 series lead.
Game five of the series is scheduled for Sunday night in Moose Jaw, with game six (if necessary) set to go Tuesday night at Brandon's Keystone Centre.
Tickets to game four at the MTS Centre are on sale now at the MTS Centre box office, (in person) at the Keystone Centre box office, by calling 780-3333 or online at ticketmaster.ca
