The Ontario Hockey League has suspended the president of the Flint Firebirds and launched an investigation into an alleged inapproriate racial comment directed at a player.

"Flint Firebirds president Terry Christiensen is suspended and under investigation by OHL for allegedly making an inappropriate racial comment about a player.

OHL President David Branch confirms league rec'd complaint Feb. 20 and says results of probe to be announced this week." - Rick Westhead, TSN

His coaching experience includes Division I college, USA National Jr., Czech National Jr. and professional hockey as an assistant, head coach, and director of player personnel."
