Today a news report confirmed a terrible tragedy occurred in a ball hockey league in Quebec City leading to an official sustaining severe injuries.
This evening reports are emerging of a terrible incident involving an official and a player in a competitive ball hockey league in Quebec City. According to reports a player was sent off by the referee but then attacked the referee causing several injuries which can be seen in a story done by The Global News.
Since the attack by the unnamed player, several developments have been made. The first is the lifetime suspension of the player by the The North American Ball Hockey Players Association (NBHPA).
Along with the ban the NBHPA also released a statement condemning the actions of the player and committing to bettering the sport going forward.
In the wake of the attack, both police and the association called on athletes to play sports with «courtesy and respect towards all participants.
Finally, the police announced that the player was arrested and questioned. He was then released on the promise that he would return when summoned to court.
As of now, it remains to be seen if the player will be put on trial. For the time being, we wish the referee and his family all of the best as he continues his recovery from this disgusting act committed against him.
