Hockey Player Paul Halloran Gets A Lifetime Ban

Paul Halloran Lifetime Ban Issue

Hockey player, Paul Halloran, who sucker-punched an on-ice official during a game in Foxborough, Massachusetts on Sunday has been permanently banned from playing by the United States Premier Hockey League. The league did not identify him or his team but announced that it is investigating this incident thoroughly with local authorities to ensure fair play standards are maintained across all teams within our region.

Foxborough police are currently investigating an incident in which one witness has identified a player from the South Shore Kings as being responsible for pellets gunning down another individual. The accused did not identify himself by name but his actions have been confirmed with evidence found at the scene and through interviews conducted thus far.

It looked like an accident at first, but the Kings player clearly gave this official a push resulting in immediate penalties. When the linesman ignored his teammates’ requests for a timeout, they responded by herding him off of the ice. He fell instantly but got back up as if nothing had happened- finally accepting defeat with one last glare at top officials before being escorted away from here premises calmly yet firmly by fellow refs who know what’s best.

Turow’s statement did not give any indication about the player’s identity.

The action taken today by a USPHL player is completely unacceptable in the USPHL,’ Turow said. ‘The USPHL has zero tolerance for any player striking any official, at any time. The player in question’s actions have led to a lifetime ban. The incident is currently being investigated by local authorities and as such the USPHL will have no further comments at this time.

When reached out to the USPHL for confirmation, a spokesperson said that commissioner Bob Turow was traveling on Monday but would be made available when he arrives back at his flight destination after landing in Boston.’ Neither South Shore Kings head coach Dave O’Donnell nor assistant Tyler Holske responded about whether or not this player is actually an NHL prospect–only the Foxborough police department knows for sure.

‘The situation is under investigation by the Foxborough Police and we are aware of the video,’ Foxborough chief Michael Grace said in an email. ‘We will be gathering more information as we speak to the two parties involved. This investigation is still ongoing.’ Grace declined to identify the parties involved in the altercation.

‘I can’t right now as we were called after the matter had occurred and the player was no longer on the property,’ Grace wrote to. ‘Still putting the pieces together.‘

Junior hockey leagues are not affiliated with the NHL, but rather exist as an alternative to collegiate hockey or a back door for those who want access. Although there is more prestigious Canadian based competition like the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) which has produced many players that went on to become successful professionals in North America’s main league – including Montreal Canadiens’ Jack Eichel winner of the 2014 Hobie Baker Award which was given out by USPHL itself before he accepted a scholarship offer from Boston University where he would later be drafted first overall at age 18 years old since then becoming known worldwide.

Another player, Jimmy Vesey, played for the South Shore Kings before winning the NCAA’s Hobie Baker at Harvard a year after Eichel. He now plays for the New Jersey Devils. Most of the players on the South Shore Kings are from the US — primarily Rhode Island and Massachusetts — and are between 17- and 20-years-old.
