TORONTO — The Barrie Colts have been fined $15,000 by the Ontario Hockey League for ‘conduct detrimental to the league’s public perception’ after a terse post-game press conference following the team’s conference final victory over Brantford went viral.
The OHL announced the fine Wednesday, hours before the opening faceoff of Game 1 of the league final in Kitchener.
After the Colts beat the Bulldogs 5-0 in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference final Monday in Brantford, Barrie head coach Dylan Smoskowitz and team captain Kashawn Aitcheson answered every question at the post-game availability with the motto “no one cares, work harder.”
The OHL said in a release that the conduct was unprofessional and disrespected the media members in attendance.
