In a recent interview, Matt Rempe opened up about his suspension stemming from the hit on Jonas Siegenthaler of the New Jersey Devils. Rempe expressed regret over the incident and discussed the lessons he's learned.
Reflecting on the hit, Rempe admitted his mistake, acknowledging,
"Obviously, watching back, I did. I made a mistake. I thought I hit the wall, but I ended up hitting him. That was unfortunate. I'm sorry about that."
Regarding what he's taken away from the suspension, Rempe emphasized the need for better body control, stating, "More control of my body, just stuff like that. If a guy is pulling out of a hit, just got to be careful. It was an accident. I thought I was going to hit the wall Never want to see a guy get hurt or anything like that. I'm still going to play super hard, play the same way. I'm just going to make sure my hits are clean, like, keep everything compact, keep everything tight. It will be good. Just live and learn."
