Minor Hockey Talks - Hockey Forum

Is the OHL too soft? Suspending a star player for tossing a teddy bear back into the crowd during a teddy bear toss seems extreme. Where do we draw the line between player conduct and harmless fun? Is this a sign of overregulation in junior hockey, or is it a necessary step to maintain professionalism? What are your thoughts on Michael Misa's one-game suspension? Was it justified, or an overreaction? This incident raises bigger questions about the balance between entertainment and rules. I predict more incidents like this will occur, forcing the OHL to re-evaluate their disciplinary actions. What do you think the future holds for player conduct and fan interaction in the OHL?

Every player must think of the implications of their actions and what is perceived by the fans!
I believe there is a lot more going on with the players that gets covered over, this starts in minor hockey!
