North Dakota senior defenseman Ben Blood’s assistant captaincy has been revoked by head coach Dave Hakstol due to an altercation that occurred during the post-game handshake following last Saturday night’s game against Minnesota. <\/p>\n
“Regardless of any provocation, Ben’s actions in the post-game handshake were not acceptable,” said Hakstol in a statement. “The handshake line is a traditional, gentlemanly part of our game where, at the end of a hard-fought battle, opponents show good sportsmanship and shake hands like men.” <\/p>\n
Hakstol added that Blood will be subject to further internal team disciplinary actions. <\/p>\n
“I’m not proud of my behavior,” added Blood. “That’s not how I want to represent our program and that’s not how we handle ourselves here. I understand and respect the punishment and I’ll move forward and not let my emotions get the best of me in the future.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
