The OHL drops the hammer on Luke Dragusica for his vicious slash to the head of his opponent, suspending him for the remainder of the season and playoffs.
Last Friday, during a game between the Oshawa Generals and the Brampton Steelheads, Luke Dragusica received a match penalty for slashing Brady Blaseg in the side of the head. The OHL has now announced the duration of Dragusica's suspension.
We wrote our story on the incident, stating how the league must take this seriously, as what Dragusica did is inexcusable to the highest degree. And the OHL has hammered down on the Steelheads' defenseman.
The OHL announced that Luke Dragusica has been suspended for the remainder of the 2025-26 regular season and playoffs.
Below is a clip of the slash:
“The deliberate use of a stick as a weapon to an opponent’s head, followed by further contact on a defenceless player, is a dangerous and unacceptable act that has no place in the OHL,” wrote the OHL in their announcement.
Dragusica will have to apply for reinstatement into the league to play next season, undergoing counselling, community service, and league-mandated education.
