Moose Jaw Warriors Players and Staff Suspended
Four Players Banned for Season, Coach and GM for Five Games
The Western Hockey League (WHL) has announced that four Moose Jaw Warriors players have been suspended for the remainder of the season, while the head coach and general manager have been suspended for five games.
Suspended Players
The four players suspended are:
- Connor Ungar
- Max Wanner
- Lynden Lakovic
- Marek Howell
Incident Details
The suspensions stem from an incident during the Warriors' game against the Winnipeg Ice on March 9, 2023. Details of the incident have not been released by the WHL, but the league stated that it involved "unacceptable behavior."
Coach and GM Suspensions
In addition to the player suspensions, Warriors head coach Tim Hunter and general manager Jason Ripplinger have also been suspended for five games.
The WHL's statement did not specify the reason for the coach and GM suspensions, but it is likely related to their responsibility for the team's actions.
Impact on Team
The suspensions are a significant blow to the Warriors, who are currently in the midst of a playoff race. The team will have to find a way to replace the four suspended players, who were all key contributors.
The suspensions also raise questions about the future of the Warriors' coaching staff and management. The team's ownership will likely be evaluating their performance in light of this incident.
