OHL Suspensions Handed Down

The Barrie Colts' Darren Archibald is suspended indefinitely after a Game 3 incident on Sunday where he ran ((and absolutely trucked)) Windsor Spitfires' goalie Phillipp Grubauer.

The incident took place late in the third period with Barrie down 5-2. Archibald caught Grubauer behind the net-knocking the goalie down. Windsor's Craig Duininck fought Archibald as a retalliation. He got a match penalty for the hit.

The Colts are down 3-0 in the series and face elimination when it resumes on Tuesday.

Windsor's Adam Wallace (inappropriate physical interaction with an opponent) and Barrie's Zac Rinaldo (physical interaction with an official) have also been suspended indefinitely.

In addition, the two teams have been fined C$5,000 each for "unprofessional off-ice conduct."

Here's the hit and the fight...
