KHL team takes aim at Reid Boucher with police lineup video

It seems like an odd thing to make light of, but a KHL team has done it all the same. In advance of a matchup between Traktor Chelyabinsk and Avangard omsk, Traktor released a video in which what appears to be a young girl points out a person in a police lineup wearing an Avangard jersey.

The caption reads "The culprits have been identified, but no conclusions have been drawn. Let's figure it out today at 19:00. See you on the ice."

While he is never named in the video, there really is no other conclusion to draw from it other than it references the legal issues of Omsk's Reid Boucher. The American pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl recently. The incident took place with Boucher was 17 and living with a billet family in the US. Reid was handed a four-year suspended sentence that will go away if he follows all the rules set out for him over the next year.

Omsk put out this response to the video.
