The QMJHL's presidents and owners of its 18 teams were expected to vote on whether to ban fighting in the league on Thursday, but they elected to postpone the vote until August.
To pass a ban on fighting, two-thirds of the league's presidents and owners would need to be in favor of the ban. If two-thirds vote to ban fighting, the ban could take effect as early as next season.
Proponents of the ban aim to limit the number of head injuries in the QMJHL.
The Penguins currently have two prospects in the QMJHL, Samuel Poulin and Nathan Legare, and both will more than likely play in the QMJHL next season as a result of the CHL-NHL transfer agreement that prevents them from playing in the AHL until age 20.
