The Western Hockey League suspended four Moose Jaw Warriors players on Friday. Edmonton Oilers prospect D Maximus Wanner (19), G Connor Ungar (20), D Marek Howell (16), and F Lynden Lakovic (15) have each been suspended for the rest of the season.
Additionally, General Manager Jason Ripplinger and head coach Mark O'Leary have each been suspended for five WHL Regular Season games, effective immediately, and the Warriors received a $25,000 fine.
Per the WHL's official release: "The four players have been suspended due to an off-ice incident while on a team road trip in Edmonton, during the month of February. Though the conduct of the players was not found to be criminal in nature, the conduct was determined to be a violation of team and league rules including the WHL Standard of Conduct policies, as outlined in the WHL Personal Conduct Policy.
In order to be reinstated by the WHL following the completion of their suspensions, the four Moose Jaw Warriors players will be required to complete further personal conduct and respect training."
