This announcement was made just a couple of days ago. According to the Ontario Hockey League, McCue got an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty as well as a game misconduct. This all went down on Friday, October 4th in a game against the Brantford Bulldogs. It ultimately led to confusion and questions about why such a harsh penalty was brought down.
As it turns out, the whole situation is pretty comical. As a fan described on Twitter, McCue scored a goal and began taunting the other team. He was then sent to the penalty box and eventually ejected. However, he refused to go back to the locker room and that is where the suspension came in.
McCue is a fringe prospect as far as the Leafs are concerned. They drafted him in the seventh round and there are no expectations for him to ever play for the franchise. Regardless, he seems to be having fun in the OHL and we look forward to his return from suspension.
