NHL suspends Slava Voynov for 2019-20 season over domestic violence Globe_Sports
Voynov was suspended indefinitely in October 2014 after being arrested for domestic abuse. He pleaded no contest to a misdemeanour, left the United States to go back to Russia and in July had the conviction dismissed by a judge in Los Angeles county.Bettman said he determined after a league investigation and a March 21 hearing that Voynov engaged in acts of domestic violence against his wife.
The Kings, who terminated Voynov’s $25 million contract in 2015, said they are reviewing the NHL’s decision and that “it is premature for us to comment until we understand what today’s decision, which can be appealed, means in its entirety.” Voynov’s agent, Rolland Hedges, did not immediately return a voicemail and text message seeking comment.
