Darnell Nurse Suspended Five Games

[chilly666]

The team also announced today that defenceman Darnell Nurse has been suspended five games by the Ontario Hockey League for an incident during the Nov. 18 game against Brampton.

The suspension stems from a hit Nurse threw on Brampton forward Matt MacLeod after Brampon's first goal in a 7-2 loss.

MacLeod was at the side of the Greyhound net and, with arms raised in celebration, was hit by Nurse into the end board, suffering an injury on the play.

No penalty was handed out on the play by either referee - Joel Washkurak or Scott Ferguson.

In a phone conversation, Ontario Hockey League Vice President Ted Baker said that, had there been no injury to MacLeod on the play, the suspension likely would not have been handed down.

Nurse will be eligible to return to the Greyhounds lineup on Dec. 4 in Sarnia.

Now, THAT'S bush league. Can't find the video on the OHL website but I'm sure this is fair.
