QMJHL suspends Marco Scandella indefinitely : For the second time in less than 3 weeks, the QMJHL has suspended one of its players indefinitely for elbowing an opponent in the head. And for the 2nd time, the incident involves a member of Team Canada’s silver-medal-winning 2010 world junior team. Val d’Or Foreurs defenceman Marco Scandella has been suspended pending a disciplinary investigation into an elbow he dished out against Rimouski Océanic forward Alexandre Durette during the first period of a game Wednesday night. The impact reportedly shattered Durette’s protective visor and left him with a concussion and deep cuts to his face. Video: Marco Scandella strikes Alexandre Durette in the face with his elbow
