Ex-NHLer, TSN analyst Aaron Ward charged with assault

Former NHL defenceman Aaron Ward has been arrested for assaulting a female, according to multiple reports.

Police reportedly were called by the 42-year-old's wife around 1:30 p.m. on Friday following a confrontation at their home in Cary, N.C.

Ward, who works for TSN as an in-studio analyst, also has been charged with interfering with emergency communication for taking away his wife's phone, according to the arrest warrant.

The three-time Stanley Cup champion joined TSN in 2011 after a 14-year NHL career.
