Instant comment

Boucs de Québec-Center and Aigles de CBIO are both overseen by Sports-Loisir Québec Nord-Est. General Manager Daniel Lerett admitted the association was in shock Monday morning when he saw the photos of the incident.

He’s a coach who’s been with us for over eight years and there’s never been anything like thatHe says.

Regardless of the suspensions that may be at the league level, the association decided to suspend it to a minimum until the end of the year, after which we will review in the off-season. It will certainly be more than that, but for now we want to manage in the short term and take care of the youngsters.
