Player Suspended for Stomping on Skate at Memorial Cup
Jordan Tourigny received a match penalty after officials reviewed the third-period play and said he stomped three times on Christian Humphreys' skate.
- Chicoutimi Sagueneels defenceman Jordan Tourigny was ejected yesterday after stomping three times on Kitchener Rangers winger Christian Humphreys' skate during the third period, prompting officials to upgrade his penalty to a match penalty for kicking.
- Tourigny played his first four seasons with the Shawinigan Cataractes before a mid-season trade to Chicoutimi, helping the Sagueneens win the QMJHL title with eight goals and 24 assists in 29 regular-season games, and has committed to play NCAA hockey at Northeastern next season.
- Kitchener Rangers coach Jussi Ahokas told reporters the incident was 'coward hockey,' calling it 'a cowardice play stomping with the skate' and 'the cheapest thing' in hockey, while teammate Sam OReilly said 'You never want to see a guy go down like that.'
- Following its review, the NHL recommended Tourigny be suspended for the tournament's duration, a recommendation accepted by the Memorial Cup Games Committee and CHL Executive Council, with the suspension effective immediately.
- The CHL acknowledged Tourigny 'made a regrettable play in the third period, one he deeply regrets,' while condemning online harassment, emphasizing that 'hate, threats, and violent messages' have 'no place in our game or in our community.
