Toronto, ON - Ontario Hockey
League Commissioner David Branch met with representatives of the Windsor
Spitfires Hockey Club to review the sanctions taken by the League
against the Windsor Spitfires for violations of the League’s Player
Recruitment Policy which resulted in the team having to make a payment
of $400,000.00, losing three (3) first round draft selections, and two
(2) second round draft selections.
During the meeting with the Commissioner the Windsor Spitfires accepted that there were certain violations of the League’s Recruitment Policy.
In recognition of the acknowledgement and the cooperation of the Windsor Spitfires, Commissioner Branch modified his earlier decision and the team will pay to the League a payment of $250,000.00 and will lose a first round draft pick in 2013, a second round draft pick in 2015 a first round draft pick in 2016 and a second round draft pick in 2017.
As a result the Windsor Spitfires will not appeal the decision.
Neither the League nor the Windsor Spitfires will be making any further comment in relation to this matter.
