One Ontario Hockey League defenseman chose to use his stick as a “weapon” during a recent game and is now paying the price. The Brampton Steelheads’ Luke Dragusica was suspended for the remainder of the regular season and the playoffs after slashing the Oshawa Generals’ Brady Blaseg on the side of the head during a Nov.

He exited the game and did not return. Players from both sides, including Draguscica, dropped the gloves and began brawling as Blaseg laid facedown in pain on the ice. “The deliberate use of a stick as a weapon to an opponent’s head, followed by further contact on a defenseless player, is a dangerous and unacceptable act that has no place in the OHL,” the league said in a statement. The 18-year-old Dragusica, who has two assists this season, will have to take numerous steps before a potential reinstatement, including a league-mandated education, counseling and community service program. He must then go before a reinstatement panel, which will decide if he will be eligible to play in the 2026-27 season.Vividseats: Official Ticketing Partner of New York Post
