The Director of Player Safety of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, Raymond Bolduc, today announced that player Ross Johnston of the Moncton Wildcats is suspended until further notice. The suspension was handed out following the clips sent by the Halifax Mooseheads on February 16. The incident will be studied further before a final decision is taken.

The Director of Player safety will be able to take his final decision once he has viewed the videos of the incident, taken into consideration the medical report, spoken to the players and organisations involved and after consulting the disciplinary committee as well as his senior advisor, Sebastien Bordeleau.

Brian Lovell had his jaw broken from the "incident" and had surgery earlier this week. Will be out the rest of the regular season.

Expected back in 6 weeks or so.

I was at the game for this incident. Careless and extremely dangerous, yes. Was it intentional i am not sure. Either way this could be a long suspension.

He should almost be prosecuted for that... watching it a few times the swing definitely looks intentional. Poor composure.
