OHL expels team president from league; launches investigation into another team
A team president in the Ontario Hockey League has been expelled following an investigation into alleged inapproriate racial comments directed at a player. Terry Chistensen of the Flint Firebirds had been suspended from his duties while an investigation took place.
Ontario Hockey League Commissioner David Branch today announced that Flint Firebirds' President of Hockey Operations Terry Christensen has been expelled from the League for conduct that is prejudicial to the welfare of the League. This comes as a result of remarks he made that violated the OHL Harassment & Abuse / Diversity Policy. His conduct violated the League's expectation of the appropriate conduct of a representative of an OHL Team and he has lost the privilege to participate in the League.
The investigation into Mr. Christensen began after an allegation was brought forward via the OHL player communications system. - OHL News Release
