THUNDER BAY – Police have confirmed they are investigating an alleged assault that took place Tuesday night at Fort William Gardens.

Thunder Bay Police were called to the rink after an off-ice altercation between the Thunder Bay North Stars and Dryden Ice Dogs, following Thunder Bay’s 2-1 win in Game 3 of their Superior International Junior Hockey League final.

Multiple sources have said a North Stars player allegedly punched an Ice Dogs coach.

Police say charges are pending.

The league on Wednesday announced that North Stars forward Avery Siau, along with Ice Dogs defenceman Carson Lux and forward Matthew Pitchenese have each been suspended indefinitely.
