A recent opponent of the Sarnia Sting has been handed a 10-game suspension for his hit on Sarnia's Julian Luciani last Friday night at the RBC Centre.

Kyle Hope of the Oshawa Generals received a five-minute major for charging and a game misconduct as a result of the play.

The league says Hope, a Blenheim native, made contact with Luciani's head while the Sting rearguard was in a vulnerable position, and while he was not in possession of the puck.
