Suspended. On-going alcohol issues.

 

Yea, indefinitely. He's also been put into a program.

I cant recall a situation where a player was indefinitely suspended due to alcohol abuse

In any sport. This is an odd one to me, though suspension is a requirement for Phase 2 of the NHL's abuse program.

 

There either must have been another incident or he violated the terms of Phase 1. It's not like guys get suspended for going to a bar and getting wasted. There wouldn't be an NHL lol

It doesn’t say he was suspended for alcohol abuse. He was probably suspended for the arrest and domestic violence.

Uhhh that's specifically what the article says.

The suspension is "related exclusively to his ongoing issues with alcohol abuse," the statement said.
