The Saskatchewan Junior Hockey league and the Yorkton Terriers say they are severing any ties to player Greg Mulhall who was recently suspended 25 games for ramming a goalie from the Melville Millionaires. The league says a video surfaced over the weekend showing Mulhall “speaking with disrespect and profanity laced words towards Berk Berkeliev.”
The video, which can be seen below, shows Mulhall telling the camera “F****** right I ran him, F*** Berk Berkeliev.” Fair warning, this video contains sound and is NSFW.

Mulhall's suspension for the hit was the longest ever handed out by the SJHL. Under Hockey Canada rules, Mulhall would normally not be eligible to play with any other team in Canada until the suspension was served. There is no word as to his eligibility for Junior hockey as a result of the decision from the SJHL. Berkeliev was left with a concussion, missing teeth and several stitches as a result of the hit.
