Thunder forfeit win due to roster violation

Oct 15, 2018 | 4:04 PM

An unfortunate break for the Drayton Valley Thunder on Saturday.
 
On the ice, they beat the Fort McMurray Oil Barons by a score of 4-1.

However, the Thunder forfeited the win after violating the AJHL rule of how many 20 year old players are allowed to be on your roster.

The Thunder made a trade Thursday, acquiring 20 year old goaltender Luke Lush from the Camrose Kodiaks which gave them seven 20 year olds on their roster, one over the allowed number. 

On Sunday, the Thunder were beaten 5-0 by the Spruce Grove Saints.
