After months of investigating,police have arrested two 12 year old First Nations boys in connection with an on ice brawl earlier this year.
The two now face charges of assault with a weaspon.
Their weapons? Hockey sticks.
APTN’s Tim Fontaine reports.
Warning: There is strong language in this story.
while I am completely against any violence in sports, to see the outcome of the “police investigation” after Months,, resulting in the ARREST of 12 yr olds,, I am outraged!
Outraged that the professional Hockey corporate structure is what the kids are watching and learning from.. The last time I watched an NHL game, an adult who used his stick to assault another player was penalized with TIME OUT!… How dare the police use this oppressive tactic on children. I am not a First Nation person, but I am a reasonable adult who understands the history and attitudes that would cause this sort of response to a bunch of kids who are emulating exactly what they are witnessing on television. It is SHAMEFUL!
