OMHA reverses coach's suspension

The OMHA has reversed a decision to suspend a Peterborough house league coach who stood up for his team in the face of racism on the ice. Good move. Let's play on.
Coach Greg Walsh had originally been suspended a year after his team refused to return to the ice for the third period after an opposing player called one of Coach Walsh's players the n-word.
The player who used the slur apologized and has already served a three-game suspension.
Here's a link to a CBC report.
