[h1]Police charge Chris Moorhouse[/h1]

Associated Press

LONDON, Ontario -- Ontario police have charged a 26-year-old man for throwing a banana on the ice toward Philadelphia Flyers player Wayne Simmonds during an NHL preseason game.

Chris Moorhouse of London, Ontario, was served a summons for engaging in a prohibited activity under the provincial trespassing act. If convicted, he faces a fine of up to $2,000.

London Police Chief Brad Duncan said at a news conference Wednesday the offense did not meet the threshold of a hate crime or mischief.

A banana was thrown from the stands Thursday night as Simmonds skated toward Detroit goalie Jordan Pearce at the John Labatt Center, about 120 miles from Simmonds' birthplace of Scarborough.

Simmonds, who is black, scored on the play in the Flyers' 4-3 overtime loss to Detroit before a crowd of 7,427. Simmonds issued a statement the next day, calling the situation "unfortunate."

Duncan said that police acted on a complaint by arena management. The information received by police came "from a variety of sources," he said, including social media.

"Clearly, the incident became the focus of the local community and across the national and international plane," Duncan said. "Mr. Moorhouse has expressed remorse for his actions."

Duncan said Moorhouse has retained a lawyer. A court date has not been set.

Duncan said it's the first action of its kind at the Labatt Centre, and it did not meet the threshold of a hate crime or mischief.

"You have to demonstrate and be motivated by hatred," he said. "Although the banana did hit the ice it did not interfere with the play, so it didn't meet the mischief threshold."

London Mayor Joe Fontana issued an apology after the game, calling "a stupid and mindless act by a single individual."

NHL commissioner Gary Bettman also strongly condemned the person responsible.

On Monday, Simmonds allegedly used an anti-gay slur against New York Rangers' agitator Sean Avery during an exhibition in Philadelphia. The NHL didn't punish Simmonds because the league said there wasn't conclusive evidence.

Would be much appreciated my dude, maybe not 11:30 though

Does 10pm work for anyone tomorrow night?

 

[j1goku]

im good with anytime tomorrow, also i really think you should add a couple ir slots.

 

[jewseejay]

/\ drink some coffee old man youll be alright haha im tryna be accomidating for any west coasters as well

as far as IR slots... well see

i understand y it makes sense to have more, just in case your team gets decimated but i think that adds to the fun managing who to keep n who to drop/replace and pray is there in a few months when u have the room to waste a bench spot

 

[sosly]

Probably won't make this draft as well. I'll do pre-draft rankings this time though

Normally I'm up all night but this new job requires me to be in bed by the outrageous hours of like 10pm

 

[philballa09]

yeah, i'm good either time.
rumors are the Flyers are trading Hartnell

don't know how Shelley, Leighton, and Walker still have contracts 

 

[hawkflight6]

Just got home from the Jets game, we won 3-1 and it was amazing

Having only watched AHL hockey (except for an NHL exhibition game every 3 years) live I was amazed at the difference in play. The NHL is so much faster, the players are much bigger and way more skilled and it should be great fun watching the Jets this year

Best moment of the game, after we scored our 2nd goal to go ahead the crowd behind the Hurricanes started chanting Brian Boucher's name, and the other half of the arena was chanting Go Jets Go

 

[lvjordan238]

In for the Yahoo league too. Team BoA. Any time in the evening is good for me.
