UND forward T.J. Oshie has been suspended for one game following an arrest early Sunday morning.
According to a Grand Forks police report, Oshie was arrested for disorderly conduct at 2:28 a.m. Sunday at 100 N. 3rd Street in Grand Forks.
New Hampshire senior forward Mike Radja also was arrested for the same offense at the same address. Radja, 22, had five points in New Hampshire's 7-4 win over UND on Saturday night.
UND announced the suspension Wednesday afternoon, saying that Oshie, 21, would miss Friday's game against St. Cloud State for violating team rules. No further details were given in the release.
Oshie, a junior from Warroad, Minn., is the team's leading scorer nine goals and seven assists for 16 points in 17 games.
He also was arrested last January for being a minor in a bar. Oshie entered a guilty plea on that charge and was sentenced to one year of unsupervised probation and ordered to pay about $225 in fines and fees.

Oshie suspended for one game.
I heard about this story through the rumor mill this moring but this is the first official announcement that I have actually read of this incident. I would imagine that Mike McFeely down in Fargo is going to have a field day with this incident and we are probably going to see more silly articles about how UND is a program out of control and that the UND hockey players are a bunch of criminals. I am sure we will hear how that Hakstol didn't punish T.J. Oshie enough and let him off easy. I think that a one game suspension is more than enough. Lets just hope that Oshie can come back strong and score some goals on Saturday night.

Wonder if this was a probation violation then?? I have to say, I think one game is a little light for this - considering he's a "repeat offender." Oshie needs to wake up and use his brain more. He's representing the Sioux and making them look ridiculous, setting them up for "silly articles."
ReplyDeleteNew post is up - this really insightful, knowledgeable UND fan answered some questions for me! :)
ReplyDeletewhere did Oshie play juniors?
ReplyDeleteare these two old buds?
UNH, I am not sure where he played.
ReplyDeleteSioux falls stampede. Finley was on that team as well.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Oshie and this other guy were busted with a little public display of affection called man loving!! Maybe they're a couple. Yes, that is the theory I'm going with. They were making out and a homophobe cop busted them and they got into a quarrel and Oshie bitch slapped the cop!!
ReplyDeleteDang right it should be a probation violation. I would think that his unsupervised probation has a "no new offenses" condition.
What a dumbass.
MAN LOVING, is that like a man crush like Dirty has on clarky?
ReplyDeleteNo. Man crush is the love 2 heterosexual males have for each other.
ReplyDeleteMan loving would be exactly the opposite! I stand by my theory...this was a lover's quarrel between Oshie and his boyfriend!!
Radja was Waterloo - I guess the teams thought they'd settle it by playing a little NHL 08 and these two got carried away and took it outside.
ReplyDeleteAll kidding aside, I don't know what the laws are out there but around these parts carrying an open container in most public places, especially a college campus, would probably be considered disorderly conduct.
That's my guess.
My guess would be they were both trashed and decided to determine who had the bigger ... with their fists.
ReplyDeleteOshie might find himself in hot water with this second arrest. It doesn't matter what Hakstol does, if this is considered a probation violation, he's gonna be in trouble!! What a great way to screw up your life - drinking and being stupid...
