We have all seen players make poor decisions in every sport. Some NCAA sports are more heavily afflicted with troubled youths than others. Hockey is unique because for the players, many physical issues can be handled on the ice. Especially at the JR level, where fighting is an allowed and embraced part of the game. I have no respect for players who allow these action to spill over the glass and boards. What happens on the ice stays on the ice, is my feeling. I am going to be curious how Ohio State, deals with the future of Kevin Irwin (Cleveland Ohio, USA NTDP Alumni). A player who many have touted as being on the brink of burn out anyway and being wound tighter than a top.

My guess is they do nothing even if the filed charges are proven court. Ohio State has let many things slide in other sports so what is to stop them here? They may feel this is just what they need to stimulate a fan base? I cant see how any racial charged incident would be good personally, especially at a campus as diverse as Ohio State.

Did you realize the kid who the racial slur was directed at is Jordan Samuels-Thomas's younger brother? When I saw that name, I knew there couldn't be another hockey playing kid named Samuels-Thomas and NOT be related to JST! I searched out last year's Media Guide and sure enough, it's his brother! It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Any offers those kids have should be pulled if the police charge them with assault. PERIOD.

The Zero State commit, Kevin Irwin, is being charged with 2 counts of assault causing injury:

Not a kid who'd be playing for our coaching staff......EVER!
