Minor Hockey Talks - Hockey Forum

Is the OHL too soft? Michael Misa, projected top NHL pick, received a one-game suspension for tossing a teddy bear into the stands during a teddy bear toss game. Was this an overreaction by the league, or are rules rules, regardless of the circumstances? Where do you draw the line between harmless fun and maintaining on-ice decorum? What are your thoughts on this incident impacting Misa’s draft stock? I predict this becomes a major talking point among scouts and GMs leading up to the draft. Is this a sign of things to come in the increasingly safety-conscious world of hockey? Share your opinions and let the debate begin.
