What a way to ruin your career

Alex - I'll take " Hockey News That Nobody Should Care About " for $500.

Interesting. Obviously figures he won’t be able to play again, but what if they are cleared of the charges? And he was a legit pro hockey player. Probably a long time NHL’er, but if not at least someone who could make real money in another league.

Seems like he’s losing himself a lot of potential future money with this decision.

I hope he retires to pursue incarceration.

Likely a situation where the league(s) know he was the ringleader and no one will attach themselves to him

guess he wasn't down to play in russia

from promising nhl career to working construction in a few years

good riddance, scumbag

If there was a chance they were innocent, it would not have gotten that far.

None of these guys deserve the benefit of the doubt.

Be thankful for the fact that he can now fade into the distance and be forgotten. That wouldn’t be the case if he fought for it. By doing this, he did his part to allow people to forget this terrible transgression. It wouldn’t be terrible if all of them did the same.

will all the other also quit hockey? Hope he finds forgivness , lifes not over but its good to see one of the 5 players accept their fate

Isn’t McLeod the one facing additional charges for having a larger role in the incident. End of the day these guys could face no criminal justice but it’s not going to go away. It’s going to follow them and a not guilty verdict isn’t an automatic to return to the NHL.

Dubé and McLeod already went to the KHL.

 

[DitchMarner]

Well, at least he'll be doing something constructive.

 

[Troublesome 85]

Retired?

More like rightfully banished

 

[BostonBob]

Well, at least he'll be doing something constructive.

Hopefully he can build on that.

Came to post this lmfao.

Good riddance.

Hey, that’s the same industry that Jacob Hoggard went into after he was charged with the same thing. Now he’s in jail. Oh well…

MANDEL: Jacob Hoggard finally singing those jailhouse blues

The singer was found guilty in June 2022 of sexual assault causing bodily harm against an Ottawa woman, and later sentenced to five years

Ehh... At this point, isn't it already confirmed that he WASN'T the ring leader?

 

[Mick Riddleton]

Dubé and McLeod already went to the KHL.

Of course they would take them.

Does it really matter.

 

[MXD]

Does it really matter.

AS far as I'm concerned, not really.

I mean, I guess it COULD matter for sentencing purposes. Not really for his hockey career.

I obviously have no love for the guy, and wish him the worst, but I am glad he made this decision, it is the right one and I respect him a bit more than the ones running off to Russia to keep playing.
