Disciplinary Review Concludes
The Canadian Hockey League announced that forward Jordan Tourigny of the Chicoutimi Saguenéens will miss the remainder of the 2026 Memorial Cup after a match penalty was assessed during a contest against the Kitchener Rangers.
The penalty was called on May 26, when Tourigny’s actions on the ice prompted officials to hand down a match penalty, setting off an immediate review by the league’s disciplinary apparatus.
NHL’s Role in the Decision
The National Hockey League, which oversees all disciplinary matters and officiating assignments at the Memorial Cup, examined video evidence and other data before issuing its recommendation.
Following the NHL’s recommendation, the Memorial Cup Games Committee and the CHL Executive Council voted to accept the suspension, making it effective immediately.
The CHL confirmed that no further comment will be provided on the matter, underscoring the finality of the decision.
