The Ontario Hockey League made the announcement Tuesday afternoon. The incident occurred shortly after Petes forward Chase Lefebvre had scored the walk-off overtime goal on Bulldogs’s goalie Matteo Drobac. Connor Lockhardt had made the assist on the play but was shoved from behind by Bulldogs’s defenceman Lucas Moore milliseconds after the goal was scored. That push sparked both clubs to clear the benches and confront each other on the ice.

Several scuffles ensued but Smith and Brantford’s Noah Roberts squared off in the middle of the ice.

The League suspended Moore and Roberts for two games while fining Brantford $1,000.

In a separate incident earlier in the game, Bulldogs defenceman Cedricson Okitundu was assessed a match penalty for cross-checking and suspended for three games.
