Three ECHL Players Have Been Arrested After Very Serious Allegations

Reports indicate that the trio was arrested under the influence, facing various charges related to their intoxication and for resisting arrest.
«We are aware of the allegations; the players are going through the judicial process, and until that plays out, we have no further comment.»
