Peewee coach to sit out after ordering pushups

MONTREAL — A Montrealarea minor-league hockey coach who ordered his team to do pushups after a loss will sit out the rest of the season, the hockey association’s president said Thursday. Jean-Pierre Fortier said the disciplinary committee of Hockey Lac St-Louis recently decided to suspend Louis Isabella after learning he ordered his 11- and 12-year-old peewee AAA players to do pushups following a 7-2 loss on Sept. 18. “The committee said it was not the right thing to do, and it was a punishment, and that’s why they decided to suspend Mr. Isabella,” Fortier said. The suspension is in place until May 2017.
