Linesman, teen player involved in incident at small town rink

Was there anything really to this? If there is, I'd hate to be the 17-year-old hockey player involved.
The London Free Press is reporting an incident at the rink in tiny Glencoe between a teen hockey player and a linesmen. The story says blows may have been exchanged - strong stuff considering any contact between a player and official is bad.
Gets worse for the teen as it turns out the linesmen is also an Ontario Provincial Police officer.
It sounds like the officer/linesman might be content to let it ride and leave any punishment to the hockey world - otherwise the OPP spokesman, who I happen to know, would have more concrete answers to the reporter's questions. The story itself was generated not by the OPP, but by an observer/tipster to the newspaper.
