OHL Suspends Brampton’s Luke Dragusica Indefinitely After Head Slash on Oshawa’s Brady Blaseg

League precedent on dangerous head contact points toward a significant ban.

Overview

  • The OHL announced Dragusica is suspended pending review for a match slashing call from the Nov. 14 game against Oshawa.
  • Video shows Dragusica swing his stick into Brady Blaseg’s head and then cross-check him while he was down, leaving Blaseg bloodied.
  • Blaseg left the ice under his own power and did not return to the game, and no official medical update was issued.
  • A melee followed as Generals players confronted Dragusica, and footage of the incident spread widely on social media.
  • Recent OHL discipline for dangerous plays includes six and eight-game bans, with Michael Liambas previously receiving 68 games for a head injury incident.
