The OHL handed down its ruling on Tyler Randell this afternoon. And it wasn't good.
The Kitchener Rangers forward has been suspended 10 games for his hit on Owen Sound's Artur Gavrus in Game 1 of the western conference quarter-final.
Randell has been serving an indefinite suspension and has missed the past two games. He'll sit out the next eight playoff contests, if the Rangers make it that far.
Kitchener is up 3-0 and can eliminate the Owen Sound Attack tomorrow.
Randell got his elbow up and hit Gavrus' head in the first period of Game 1 this past Friday. Gavrus fell to the ice and left the game with an upper body injury and has not played since.
Owen Sound officials said earlier this week that they felt a 10-game suspension was warranted, at the minimum.
Meanwhile, Ottawa 67's captain Marc Zanetti also learned his fate. The blueliner was given five games for a pre-game spear against the Belleville Bulls before Game 2 this past weekend. Like Randell, Zanetti had also been sitting out with an indefinte suspension.
