Marlies goalie Garrett Sparks suspended for violating team policy
TORONTO — The Toronto Maple Leafs have suspended goalie prospect Garrett Sparks for violating team policy.
The team confirmed the suspension on Saturday but wouldn’t add any detail regarding why or for how long, only saying they would re-evaluate the situation in the coming week.
“Management has dealt with Garret directly and will have no further comment at this point,” a member of the organization said in an email.
Sparks, who has spent the season with the American Hockey League’s Toronto Marlies, didn’t dress for Friday or Saturday’s games and was replaced by veteran Jeff Glass on the Marlies roster. The fourth-year pro was unavailable for comment.
