Terriers, league cut ties with Mulhall

Greg Mulhall is done with Junior hockey in Saskatchewan for the current season.

Mulhall who started the season as a forward with the Yorkton Terrier was serving a 25-game suspension imposed by the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League, (SJHL), following a hit on Melville Millionaire goaltender Berk Berkeliev which left the netminder with a severe head injury.

Now both the Terriers and the SJHL have severed all ties with Mulhall, meaning he has been released by the team and ousted from the league.

The most recent sanctions against the 19-year-old were imposed after a video surfaced “with Greg Mulhall speaking with disrespect and profanity laced words” towards Berkeliev, noted a brief release on the SJHL website.

Terrier head coach Mat Hehr told Yorkton This Week late Monday that “obviously it’s an unfortunate situation.”

While not having more to say specific to Mulhall’s release Hehr did suggest this was a situation he hoped other young people, not just hockey players will gain something from.

“Hopefully for everybody this is a good learning tool,” he said.

Hehr said with social media and camera phones life is increasingly under a microscope for everyone.

“Even when I was a player just 10-years ago, we were just getting cellphones,” he said.

Now everyone has one and is taking pictures and videos which are posted to the world via social media.

“You have to be careful,” he said.
