Overview

  • Niagara Regional Police alerted EPS on Dec. 17 about social-media threats traced to Edmonton, leading to Dec. 19 uttering-threats charges against 31-year-old Amjad Jaradat.
  • Jaradat is now ordered to live in Saskatoon under court conditions that include staying home except for approved work or emergencies and keeping 100 metres from Jewish sites and related community events.
  • He is prohibited from posting on social media, from possessing internet-capable devices except for approved employment, and from possessing weapons or explosives.
  • EPS’s hate-crimes unit is recommending increased sentencing if hatred is proven as the motive, and Chief Warren Driechel said police are prioritizing faith community safety.
  • For the Oilers, goalie Tristan Jarry returns after 11 games and defenceman Jake Walman is back from a fractured leg as a 10-games-in-19-days run begins, with Adam Henrique on LTIR and a three-goalie roster puzzle involving waiver-exempt Connor Ingram and veteran Calvin Pickard.
