TORONTO – The Ontario Hockey League has suspended Brampton Steelheads defenceman Luke Dragusica for the rest of the regular season and playoffs for delivering a slash to an opponent’s head.

The incident occurred late in a Nov. 14 game against Oshawa, where Dragusica was assessed a match penalty for his slash on Generals defenceman Brady Blaseg.

The league says video review showed he also made further contact on a defenceless player.

Dragusica must complete education, counselling and community service requirements as part of the sanction. He will also have to appear before a reinstatement panel before being eligible to return next season.

The 18-year-old had two assists and 37 penalty minutes in 15 games this season.

The OHL says the case will be used in future player-safety education.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 21, 2025.
