A surprising moment during a press conference after Game 7 is now getting a lot of attention from the league.
Too Lenient Punishment? ! Fans Are Upset as OHL Gives Barrie Colts a ‘Mild’ Fine After Shocking Game 7 Event!
The Barrie Colts are going to the OHL championship series, but the talk after their Game 7 victory has not much to do with the game itself.
After a strong 5-0 win against the Brantford Bulldogs on Monday, head coach Dylan Smoskowitz and star defenseman Kashawn Aitcheson, who scored the winning goal, joined a press conference that took an unexpected turn.
Their repeated answers surprised the reporters in the room, especially because they kept going, no matter what questions were asked.
Instead of giving usual answers about their win and the next match, they both kept saying the same thing to every question: “No one cares. Work harder. ”
Later reports indicated that the team was frustrated with the limits on how many players could speak to the media, although other players did talk afterward.
Still, this moment quickly caught the league’s attention, and OHL commissioner Bryan Crawford confirmed that they would look into what happened.
On Wednesday, the Colts were officially given a $15,000 fine for behavior that was seen as bad for how the league is viewed by the public.
While Barrie is still competing in the playoffs, the fallout from Game 7 has drawn attention elsewhere, turning what should have been a happy moment into one of the more strange stories after a game this season.
