A coach involved in a Windsor, Ont. fight during a U13 game last year is back on the bench as an assistant.

A coach with Riverside Minor Hockey who was involved in a fight at a U13 hockey game last year is back on the bench as an assistant.

In November of last year, two coaches at a game in Lakeshore got into an altercation with young referees in charge.

The Ontario Minor Hockey Association (OMHA) investigated the incident, which saw the coach suspended from hockey until March 31 of this year, and banned from being a head coach for one year.

Part of his penalty was an apology.

“He had to write a letter to parents, to the kids, and give that to the OMHA so they could see that he had done that,” said Jay Jubenville, Riverside Minor Hockey Association president.

“He’s done some things on a personal level to make himself better. We thought the guy deserved a second chance.”
