‘That Was a Big Oopsie’: Barrie Colts Coach Takes Blame for Bizarre Postgame Conference
The Colts repeated the phrase six times in a 75-second postgame exchange after a 5-0 Game 7 win.
- On Wednesday, the Ontario Hockey League fined the Barrie Colts $15,000 for conduct detrimental to the league's public perception following Monday's terse post-game press conference in Brantford.
- Head coach Dylan Smoskowitz and captain Kashawn Aitcheson staged the incident after the Ontario Hockey League rejected Smoskowitz's request to bring the entire team into the press conference.
- During the roughly 75-second exchange, both repeatedly replied 'no one cares, work harder' before Smoskowitz apologized Tuesday on TSN's OverDrive program, calling his actions a 'big oopsie.'
- The OHL declared the comments 'highly unprofessional and represented a disservice to the dedicated media members' who provide coverage of the league.
- Game 1 of the OHL Championship begins tonight at Kitchener Memorial Auditorium, where the Colts face the Kitchener Rangers despite the controversy.
