Acadia University appealing suspension to men’s hockey coach after brawl
WOLFVILLE, N.S. — Acadia University is joining St. Francis Xavier University in appealing a 10-game suspension handed to its men’s hockey coach in the aftermath of an ugly brawl.
Kevin Dickie, executive director, athletics and community events at Acadia, said during a game broadcast on Wednesday night that his school will appeal the suspension to Darren Burns.
The X-Men announced their intention to do the same thing for head coach Brad Peddle prior to Game 1 of a best-three playoff series between St. Francis Xavier and Acadia on Wednesday.
