This is the decision rendered by the Discipline Committee against the assistant coach of the Quebec-Centre Boucs for his gesture during a game played on December 18th.
After a questionable blow by an Eagles player against an opponent during a stoppage in play, the Boucs coach rushed onto the ice to tackle the young hockey player from the opposing team.
The unsightly scene had been filmed by a surveillance camera.
The game between the Boucs de Québec and the Aigles de Côte-de-Beaupré involved 13 and 14 year olds at the bantam level.
