Earlier this morning, we learned that Jordan Dumais had been suspended for five QMJHL games.
The Halifax Mooseheads player, as tweeted by Stéphane Leroux, received the suspension due to an incident that did not occur on a QMJHL rink.
He will therefore not be able to start the playoffs on time.
The rumor had been circulating for a few days. Jordan Dumais suspended 5 games.
We’re talking about an off-ice incident.
If he was ready to play Dumais will now have to wait until game two of the #Mooseheads first round series before making a comeback #QMJHL pic.twitter.com/PqKhzE2xir

But now we’ve learned why last year’s QMJHL top scorer and Blue Jackets prospect was suspended, via the work of journalist Alexe Cooke.
In fact, it’s because a few weeks ago, he was arrested by the police for drinking and driving.

The Mooseheads player, who is finally back healthy after missing the last few months, won’t be able to get back into the hockey swing of things before the playoffs, but that’s not what’s important here.
After all, the bottom line is that he hit the road after drinking too much. That’s not why you want to be in the news, is it?
It’s important to remember that Dumais comes with his character. The young man has already said that he was ranked low for the NHL draft because the scouts who make the lists aren’t real scouts. #Ouch
Remember that the Habs considered picking him in 2022, but passed.
My latest. Some scouts are starting to admit they were wrong on Jordan Dumais who slipped to the Blue Jackets in the 3rd round.
“The Jackets think they’ve made a steal.
Habs showed quite a lot of interest apparently but they passed up on him a few times. https://t.co/q6XfTrKH5q– Nicolas Cloutier (@NCloutierTVA) March 22, 2023
