He was fined after a woman went to the police when Mailloux took a picture of a sex act. He then showed his teammates without her permission. The incident occurred while he was on loan at SK Lejon in Nov. 2020.<\/p>\n<p>The defenceman asked not to be draft in the 2020 NHL Draft. However, the Canadiens took him with the 31st pick. There <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/2021\/07\/25\/2021-nhl-draft-grades-part-2\/\" target=\"_self\">was plenty of backlash <\/a>over the selection of Mailloux despite his apology and entering counseling. Even Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called out the selection.<\/p>\n<p>OHL officials suspended him based on him violating &#8220;the League&#8217;s expectation of the <a href=\"https:\/\/ontariohockeyleague.com\/article\/ohl-announces-disciplinary-action-090221\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">appropriate conduct of an OHL player<\/a>.&#8221; However, he can apply for reinstatement to the league on Jan. 1, 2022. He played for London in the 2019-20 season and was slated to rejoin the team this season. Reinstatement will be based on his conduct and what treatment he&#8217;s received.<\/p>\n<p>The Canadiens and Mailloux have said they are going to work together on an action plan &#8220;to guide him in his development.&#8221; Mailloux said he has seen a therapist since returning to North America.<\/p>\n<h3>What it Means<\/h3>\n<p>The OHL made it&#8217;s feelings known on Mailloux&#8217;s conduct. Their statement was blunt and to the point about the 19-year-old&#8217;s conduct.<\/p>\n<p>Montreal general manager <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/b\/bergema01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Marc Bergevin<\/a> stated that Mailloux also won&#8217;t participate in rookie camp. The Habs&#8217; play to help the young defenceman will be scrutinized greatly. There are many people not happy over the selection.<\/p>\n<p>Some hoped the Canadiens would renounce his draft rights much like the<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/nhl-teams\/coyotes\/\" target=\"_self\"> Arizona Coyotes<\/a> did with Mitchell Miller. The Coyotes faced an uproar after Miller&#8217;s past bullying was revealed.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2021\/07\/Logan-Mailloux.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ontario Hockey League has suspended London Knights and Montreal Canadiens draft pick Logan Mailloux indefinitely.
