The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League has suspended Val-d'Or Foreurs defenceman Marco Scandella indefinitely for hitting an opponent in the head Wednesday against the Rimouski Oceanic.
"This afternoon, (QMJHL disciplinarian) Raymond Bolduc informed me of his decision to suspend Marco Scandella indefinitely," league commissioner Gilles Courteau said in a statement. "After seeing the hit, I believe it is the right decision while the disciplinary process runs its course.
"Our position is clear: We have a responsibility to protect our players. Their safety is our No. 1 priority."
Scandella was considered to be one of Canada's top defencemen at this year's world junior hockey championship.
No timetable regarding when a decision by Bolduc...
If the Cormier suspension is anything, the HQ thinks that Scandella is next...
We'd also like to know what it is with kids that play in the "Q" in the first place...
Elbows up... here's the hit...
