It's the "Dub's" turn this time

Last summer, the NCAA fans rejoiced and the CHL fans cringed when the Canadian junior league finally took a stand against the Windsor Spitfires for breaking the player-benefit code (more or less offering money they are not allowed to in order to have players bail out on their college commitments and opt to play for them).  Well back then I said I didn't think that would be the last we heard about this, and this has turned out to be the case.
 

The Windsor Spitfires of the Western Hockey League ( aka The Dub) just got the book thrown at them.  They were fined $200,000 and lost their first five round picks for the 2013 draft and their first round pick for 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017.  See the article here.
 

For UND fans, this is especially intriguing since big-time defenseman Seth Jones had narrowed his choices to UND and the Everett Silvertips. The Silvertips owned his rights before they traded his them to Portland who were able to convince him to go there.  Many believe Jones told Everett he wasn't coming there, so they let Portland try to convince him to go the junior route.  Just to be straight, I'm not talking down about Seth Jones.  He's a tremendous player, has great character, and handled his decision the right way by not committing to a college and bailing out.  All I'm saying is UND fans have a reason to not like Portland and most aren't going to feel to bad about the sanctions.  Oh, and I'm a little bitter that they still get to use a certain "hostile and abusive" logo.
