OHL Indefinitely Bans Vancouver Canucks Prospect From the League After Criminal Investigation
The OHL announced today that Connor Lockhart, a 6th-round draft pick by the Vancouver Canucks, has been indefinitely suspended from the league after it was announced that Lockhart was under investigation by the Durham Police Department.
On February 6, 2024, the Oshawa Generals and the Ontario Hockey League were made aware that one player, Connor Lockhart, is under investigation by Durham Regional Police Service. He has been indefinitely suspended by the team and the League until the matter is resolved.
Although he was selected in the draft by the Canucks, he didn't sign a contract with the organization. His pursuit of a professional hockey career will be paused as he navigates these legal issues.
Details about the allegations on Lockhart remain undisclosed for the moment, but we'll keep you updated once something new comes out.
