One of the top junior teams in all of Canada is now under investigation for an alleged bounty on a rival team's player.

Sudbury Under Investigation For Bounty On Barrie Player

It was announced earlier today that the OHL is investigating the Sudbury Wolves for allegations of placing bounties on opposing players.

Jeff Marek writes the following on the situation:

During a Sudbury/Barrie game on Jan. 18, Colts defenceman Kashawn Aitcheson delivered a hard, but legal, hit to Wolves forward Nathan Villeneuve. There was no penalty on the play. Aitcheson then fought one of Villeneuve's teammates, Nolan Collins.

The two teams played again three days later, but Barrie did not dress Aitcheson. According to those sources, word reached the Colts about the possibility of a bounty being placed on Aitcheson, so the organization made a decision not to play him.

The OHL has said they are investigating the incident and the Sudbury Wolves declined to comment on the incident.
