Lloydminster RCMP charge 2 in Jr. B hockey fight

On February 18, at approximately 10 P.M., Lloydminster RCMP were notified of a fight at a hockey arena in the 5400 block of 49 Avenue. Members were told that 2 referees, aged 36 and 24, were assaulted in the change room after a Junior B hockey game by the family members of a player in the game.

Scott Payne (51) of Lloydminster, and Jayden Payne (23) of Lloydminster were each charged with assault in relation to the alleged skirmish.

Both were released on their own recognizance for Provincial Court on Monday, April 8.

“This type of behaviour has no place in our hockey community,” says Const. Michael Hagel. “As adults you are responsible to set a good example for the youth playing the game.”
