Quebec minor hockey coach to sit out season for ordering push-ups after loss
MONTREAL — A Montreal-area minor league hockey coach who ordered his team to do push-ups after a loss will sit out the rest of the season, the hockey association’s president said Thursday.
Jean-Pierre Fortier said the disciplinary committee of Hockey Lac St-Louis recently decided to suspend Louis Isabella after learning he ordered his 11- and 12 year-old peewee AAA players to do push-ups following a 7-2 loss on Sept. 18.
“The committee said it was not the right thing to do, and it was a punishment, and that’s why they decided to suspend Mr. Isabella,” Fortier said.
The suspension is in place until May 2017.
