The American Hockey League (AHL) has announced that forward Matt Bezeau of the Toronto Marlies has been suspended for 25 games due to violations of the league’s substance abuse policy. This decision comes as part of the AHL’s ongoing efforts to maintain a safe and competitive environment for all players. Bezeau’s suspension is effective immediately, and he will be eligible to return after serving his suspension. The Toronto Marlies expressed their support for the league’s decision and emphasized their commitment to player wellbeing.

Bezeau, who has played an important role in the Marlies’ lineup, will be missed during this critical part of the season. Fans and teammates alike are hoping for his return to be swift and that he can learn from this experience.
