A few weeks ago, we published some photos that sparked a reaction.

Basically, the Laval Oilers had destroyed the Gilles-Courteau Cup after winning the North American Hockey League championship, a league that has to deal with a reputation that isn't always enviable.

It wasn't very classy, judging by the images of what happened.

Shortly after the images were published, the NALH decided to suspend the Pétroliers organization. Their actions did not align with the league's values, and bringing this to light caused quite a stir.

However, we were waiting to see what would officially be decided.

But now the league has announced that the governors of the member teams have voted to expel the Pétroliers and dissolve them from the North American Hockey League.

A statement was posted on social media regarding this matter.

It's worth noting that the LNAH, which will now operate with only seven teams heading into the upcoming season, has disabled comments on the Facebook post. They likely want to avoid any backlash.

Let the other teams take note: actions of this kind, which undermine the integrity of the sport, will clearly not be tolerated in the NHA.

The video posted on our social media has gone viral. We brought attention to a situation that was reported to us, and it was the league's leadership that decided to take action once the news became public.

We'll see what comes of it, but it's a shame for those who have done nothing wrong.


In a nutshell

– Parents should put their kids to bed.

– Wow.

– Ouch.

– The guys are ready.

– What a great pitcher.
