NHL prospect handed lengthy suspension for spearing a fan
Nashville Predators prospect Zachary L'Heureux finds himself in trouble, as he's being suspended from the QMJHL after an incident with a fan.
Although the league initially stated that they weren't advancing further into their investigation due to the lack of video evidence, things have now changed. Until the footage of the altercation was shared by Quebec journalist Yanick St-Denis.
It happened during a game between L'Heureux's Halifax Mooseheads and the Gatineau Olympiques (translated from French):
''I obtained a video which shows that Zachary L'Heureux (@HFXMooseheads) passes his stick between the door and the boards and he seems to be trying to hit supporters.''
