Team changes

Durham Thundercats illegal player

edit

On January 10, 2005, locked out National Hockey League player Chris Neil of the Ottawa Senators suited up for a game with the Durham Thundercats.

Neil finished the game with one assist in a 5-4 victory over the Mildmay Monarchs.

The ruling from the league was that Neil was an illegal player because as a professional hockey player, he could not be insured under the league's policy in case if he injured an opponent.

Due to Neil being an illegal player, the Thundercats win was given to the Monarchs.

Neil finished the 2004-05 season with the Senators American Hockey League affiliate, the Binghamton Senators.[3]
