Quebec City police confirmed an investigation is underway and a 31-year-old man was arrested Thursday in connection with the incident.

“The man was questioned and released on a promise to appear in court on charges of ******** with a ******* and causing bodily harm,” police said in a statement.

The NBHPA called the incident “unacceptable behaviour” and though it occurred in an unaffiliated arena, it has banned the player for life from its association.

“All our thoughts go to this referee in our community who will experience very difficult times in the coming days,” the association said.

In the wake of the *******, both police and the association called on athletes to play sports with “courtesy and respect towards all participants.”
