BREAKING NEWS - Head coach suspended indefinitely after attacking his own player at practice
In recent developments, the Swift Current Broncos of the WHL have taken decisive action by suspending head coach Devan Praught indefinitely.
This decision comes in the aftermath of an alleged on-ice altercation with a player during Monday's practice. Chad Leslie, the team's General Manager, made the announcement, expressing concerns over a potential breach of the Western Hockey League Standards of Conduct.
The incident unfolded as Praught engaged in a heated exchange with 17-year-old defenseman Josh Fluker, with video evidence capturing Praught swinging his stick at Fluker. Currently, the WHL Security Network is in the process of reviewing the matter to determine the appropriate course of action.
In light of Praught's suspension, Assistant Coach Taras McEwen will step into the role of head coach. This incident marks the second time this season that a WHL coach has faced suspension for violating the Code of Conduct, underscoring the league's unwavering commitment to upholding high standards of behavior.
As the WHL diligently investigates the details surrounding the altercation, no additional comments have been provided at this time. The league remains focused on ensuring a thorough examination of the incident before reaching any conclusions.
