Three players and a coach have been suspended by the Ontario Super Hockey League following Saturday’s between the Alvinston Killer Bees and Petrolia Squires at the Greenwood Recreation Centre.

The Battle of Lambton game between the Killer Bees and Petrolia Squires ended abruptly when the Killer Bees left the ice with 12:07 left in the third period on what was billed as Minor Hockey Night.

Trailing the Squires 2-0 in the third, Nathan Mater of the Squires checked Jacob Chantler from behind into the boards near the penalty box as the referees looked on. There was no penalty called.

Chantler was taken from the arena by Lambton EMS and transported to Bluewater Health in Sarnia where he was treated and released.

After that, Killer Bees player Jack VanBoekel was arguing with the referees about the play which sent Chantler to hospital and the lack of call.

Bees Coach Joe Rombouts also argued the play. Garbage cans were thrown on the ice just before the Killer Bees left.

The Squires has been awarded the two points by forfeit after the Bees left the ice with just over 12 minutes remaining in the third period. Petrolia was leading 2-0 at the time.

Mater will serve a three-game suspension for the hit while Jack VanBoekel and Chays Ruddy of the Bees along with Alvinston coach Joe Rombouts have all been given two-game suspensions.

Alvinston, leading the WOSHL Division with a record of 18-3, travels to Stratford Saturday.

Petrolia takes on the Bluebirds in Tilbury Saturday. The Squires are in third place with a mark of 12-9.
