SJHL bans junior hockey player after profanity-laced video

Sep 30, 2019 | 10:38 AM

The 2019-20 season is officially over for a Saskatchewan junior hockey player, just seven games in.

Former Yorkton Terriers forward Greg Mulhall was released by the team Sunday after he appeared in a profanity-laced video which was posted to social media.

The SJHL also cut ties with him, banning him for the remainder of the season.

Before the video, Mulhall was serving a 25-game suspension for a head shot on Melville Millionaires goalie Berk Berkeliev on Sept. 14.

The two players collided when Berkeliev left his crease to play the puck. He suffered a concussion and lost several teeth.

SJHL president Bill Chow said it was one of the longest suspensions in recent memory.

The league did not say if Mulhall will be eligible to return next season.

As of Monday, the Terriers have played seven games so far this season, posting one win and six losses.
