We’re finally coming down the home stretch of the NHL offseason. In what has been a dead past few weeks in the NHL’s, the Vegas Golden Knights finally got some news. But it’s not the news they wanted to hear at all.
The National Hockey League have suspended Golden Knights defenseman Nate Schmidt 20 games without pay for violating the terms of NHL/NHLPA Performance Enhancing Substances Program. The league didn’t state what Schmidt tested positive for. Yikes, this is not how Golden Knights fans wanted to start the second season of their existence.
The fans may not be happy at all, but the team and Schmidt himself are irate that this suspension is actually happening.
