Season slur story, take 2

Is this the season of the slur among teenage hockey players?
First, in November, we had house league teens in Peterborough embroiled in use of the n-word to taunt a black teen. So serious was the incident that the coach of the black player refused to continue the game and was suspended.
Now, at a higher level of competition, we have the Jr. B St. Thomas Stars and London Nationals in a similar situation. The Nationals are accusing players on the Stars of hurling insults laced with the word "Hitler" at two members - Noah and Brendan Schwartz - of the Nationals who happen to be Jewish.
Not a suitable tactic.
The incident happened in Game 6 of a Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League playoff. Game 7 is tonight in London.
Morris Dalla Costa of The London Free Press reported the slur story.

Jr. B Club set to honour Logan Couture of San Jose Sharks

Logan Couture, now on a tear with the San Jose Sharks and a contender for NHL rookie of the year, played as a 15-year-old with the Jr. B St. Thomas Stars.
That team is set to honour Couture with a banner raising on Sunday, Feb. 13, 2011, at 6:30 pm. Here's a posting from the Stars:

The St. Thomas Stars Hockey Club are extending an invitation to the former players of the St. Thomas Stars Hockey Club to join us as we hang the banner honouring Logan Couture of the San Jose Sharks. Logan played for the Stars as a 15 year old during the 2004-2005 season. Logan's parents Chet and Lori Couture will be on hand for the unveiling of the banner. We would like all alumni but especially those that played with Logan to be present for this dedication. We ask that Logan's former teammates be there early and meet at the Stars office on the upper level to join us for the on ice portion of the event. Please feel free to contact any teammates as we have not got contact information for everyone. I hope to see you there for this special night
