Sawyer Boulton has been suspended once again by the OHL, this time for slew footing.

London Knights forward Sawyer Boulton has received the seventh suspension of his OHL career, this time for slew footing.

The incident took place on May 1st in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals against the Saginaw Spirit, where London took the 3-1 series lead. 

Boulton leaped toward the Saginaw centreman off of an offensive zone faceoff, and began to engage in a physical battle in open ice. He then appeared to grab onto the opponent, and stuck his leg underneath him to result in the slew footing suspension.

Boulton has earned a reputation in this league for being a "violent player" with all of his suspensions and major penalties, and he will now miss games five and six for the Knights as they look to end the series. The Knights put Boulton on the ice when they need that physical presence — and he has given them just that during these playoffs.

Sawyer Boulton had two other significant suspensions this season — both against the Soo Greyhounds. One was for a hit on Matthew Virgilio, and one was for a hit on Bryce McConnell-Barker.

The Virgilio suspension was due to Boulton "forcing" the defenceman into a fight with him, giving him repeated pushes and shoves until he dropped the gloves. 

The McConnell-Barker suspension was for 10 games, due to a violent head-targeted hit on Soo Greyhounds captain Bryce McConnell-Barker.

Boulton will be forced to sit in the press box for yet another suspension this season, missing two of the more important games of the season.
