Mike Richards busted?

What's up, pigeons?


So, this week I've got something a little different to talk about.... NHL players getting in trouble with the law! It's not often that this happens but it sure does happen, most of the time we don't even know it happens. So, I'm going to talk about the most recent drug bust to a player who's a pretty big deal, Mike Richards.

Richards WAS a centre-man for the Los Angeles Kings until mid June 2015. Richards was charged with drug possession after Canada border patrol officers found oxycodone in his car at the Pembina, North Dakota border crossing.

Now, just like most cases with NHL players getting in trouble with the law, nothing has been settled definitively. A court hearing is set for December 8, 2015 where hopefully everything will settle once and for all.

Also, since his arrest for drug possession in June, the Los Angeles Kings have terminated the rest of his contract. So, I have to ask you guys, do you think the Kings terminating Richards's contract was a good idea, public relations wise? Or do you guys think the Kings made a big mistake letting letting him go? Comment below!


Until next week, kids!
