Ward suspended one game
BOUCHERVILLE, Tuesday, March 18, 2008 The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League’s disciplinary committee today imposed an automatic one-game suspension to Lewiston MAINEiacs defenseman Michael Ward after he spit in the direction of an opponent during last Sunday’s game versus the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles.
The decision was rendered after reviewing the videotape of the incident and consulting all concerned parties. The suspension is in effect as of today.
In accordance with the QMJHL policy in the matter of disciplinary sanctions, the disciplinary committee will not be available for further comment.
