OHL Renders Final Decision on Logan Mailloux
Earlier this week we wrote about the Montreal Canadiens and how Director of Player Personnel Rob Ramage were hopeful that Logan Mailloux would be reinstated by the Ontario Hockey League.
Mailloux was suspended on September 2nd and has been out of the spotlight ever since. Today the league issued the following statement:
Since the time of suspension, with the support of the London Knights, Logan Mailloux has participated in therapy and counselling with Dr. Lindsey Forbes, and a personal development plan under the leadership of Wendy Glover. Ms. Glover is a London-based, experienced holistic athlete development practitioner, academic and personal development advisor, teacher and member of the Ontario School Counsellors Association.
The player's Personal Development Plan has included weekly meetings, ongoing completion of certifications, and reflections of concepts explored. Some of the certifications and programs available to athletes that he completed were Respect in Sport, Mental Health in Sport, Sport Media, Ethics in Sport, Diversity and Inclusion, Sport Psychology, and Cultural Awareness.
After reviewing the program, speaking with the player and Ms. Glover, and receiving a commitment from the player to continue with his personal development program, the League is satisfied that Logan Mailloux has undertaken the necessary steps and will reinstate him, effective January 1, 2022.
The OHL has ruled that Mailloux will be eligible to begin has second chance. Whether you think he should be receiving it or not is another question, but I think everyone can agree Mailloux will be on a very short leash.
