UNO's Alex Hudson Kicked Off the Mavericks

The UNO Mavericks have kicked Alex Hudson off of the team for his second violation of team rules. As most UND Fighting Sioux fans know, head coach Dean Blais will not pull any punches and if there is a star player screwing up and not abiding by the rules he will not hesitate to suspend them and or kick them off the team. Coach Blais once sat former Fighting Sioux forward Jason Blake for a game when he was in the running for the Hobey Baker Memorial Award.
OMAHA, Neb. — Nebraska-Omaha coach Dean Blais has dismissed senior forward Alex Hudson from the team for his second violation of team rules this season.

UNO did not say what the incident was, and said in a statement that it would have "no further comment on the matter."

Hudson, 24, started the season as the captain, but had that stripped for a first violation of team rules. The 6-foot native of Corona, Calif., missed four games at the start of the season because of the resultant team-imposed suspension. Since his return, he had 4 goals and 10 points in 16 games.

In his four years with the Mavericks, Hudson had 37 goals and 82 points, with a career-high 31 points last season. His best goal-scoring year was his sophomore season when he had 14.
