Victoria Royals forward Alex Edwards has just learned this after being suspended by the WHL for 25 games. After sending Dexter Whittle to the hospital.
As a result of being hospitalized, his Everett Silvertips opponent Dexter Whittle will miss much of the season.
Having been suspended twice last season, Edwards is not the first time he has been suspended. On December 1st, Edwards will be eligible to return to the ice.
However, Whittle will be out for an indefinite period of time, despite the fact he will recover from the injury.
Due to Edwards' history of repeated offenses in the WHL, the decision against him was based on that fact.
While Whittle and his family are going through this difficult time, the Everett Silvertips sent their best wishes.
Victoria Royals have decided not to appeal the decision, which is a wise decision.
