STEWIACKE, New South Wales — A minor hockey coach in Nova Scotia is being charged following an alleged assault on the referee during a weekend game.
Colchester County RCMP said that an arena in Brookfield, Newfoundland, filed a complaint with them early on Saturday.
The coach allegedly attacked an official during a game, according to the Mounties, but the official escaped unharmed.
The coach handed himself in to the Stewiacke detachment later, but he had fled the rink before the police arrived.
In a statement, Hockey Nova Scotia said that the coach has been suspended indefinitely and that the event at the Don Henderson Memorial Sportsplex is being investigated by an impartial third party.
