The incident happened Sept. 30 in a game between Nicola-Lalonde's Humber Valley Sharks team and the Forest Hill Force, both of the Greater Toronto Hockey League. Nicola-Lalonde, who is Humber Valley's only Black player, said the player then called him the N-word. In the days after the incident, Nicola-Lalonde and the team heard nothing from the GTHL.
