Hey kids, little special report this fine Wednesday afternoon. You know when ever a coach gets suspended, and we get wind of it, I got to do myself a little digging into the story right? Ha Ha Ha
So, Summerside Western Capitals head coach Billy McGuigan has been suspended by the Maritime Junior Hockey League for the rest of the regular season.
A coach being suspended isn’t too uncommon, but for the rest of the season sure got my attention. I mean seriously folks, we have seen some coaches get away with a lot of stuff and only get a few games, so this sounded like something special.
The suspension allegedly comes from an incident during a game between the Capitals and Woodstock Slammers on Feb. 13. Words were allegedly exchanged between McGuigan and a Slammers player on the ice. McGuigan and former Woodstock coach Justin Bowers got into a shouting match and each were ejected from the game.
Yep, Bowers resigned just a few days after the incident. A coach that assembles a team that has a record of 36-8-0-2 doesn’t resign unless its a big deal, and the timing of this just stinks like a big pile of ……..
But the argument doesn’t sound like too big of a deal eh kids? Pretty normal stuff for coaches to have words in a heated contest right?
Yeah well that all depends on what was said now doesn’t it? So, like good old Jack Kevorkian I did some sniffing around to see where people were hiding the bodies.
While no one from the team or league is talking, fans and players sure are. If they are to be believed, someone told someone else to deliberately injure someone! Yep, go out an hurt em boys. If ya cant beat them go out and just beat them up.
Right out of Slapshot! “let em know yer there. Get yer stick in their side. Let em know yer there. Bleed all over em, let em know yer there.”
If this is true, and more than one person is saying it is, then this donkey needs to be suspended for life. There’s just no room for anyone who doesn’t respect the game enough to be rational. Ya might want to ask Todd Bertuzzi how his lawsuit worked out for him ya moron.
But wait it gets better kids! Yep, the General Manager was actually talking about appealing the decision! Yep, got to stand by your coach alright. Forget the fact that the league actually took its time and did a lengthy investigation. Forget the fact that was is being alleged would lead to criminal charges if it happened in the street.
So hey kids, lets make sure to get those summer camp registrations in early this year. We are building a championship level MMA team, ummmmmm yeah I mean hockey team.
