In newly filed statement of defence, team seeks to have Tucker Tynan's $300K lawsuit alleging negligence and racial harassment thrown out of court — with costs
SAULT STE. MARIE - The Soo Greyhounds organization is denying all allegations laid out in a lawsuit launched by former goaltender Tucker Tynan, who is suing the junior hockey club for $300,000 claiming he was subjected to negligence and racial harassment during his tenure with the team.
The Vernon Hills, Ill. product alleged that Greyhounds staff and officials mishandled a shoulder injury, insulted him with derogatory slurs, advised him to self-medicate for pain, and pressured him to play through the injury. The team countered by claiming that Tynan’s condition was properly assessed, and that no treatment was ever denied to the back-up goalie, contrary to what was alleged in the lawsuit.
The team also alleges that Tynan’s medical condition, diagnosed after the fact, and subsequent surgery “have no relationship to the Greyhounds.” Instead, the hockey club says his condition relates to “other activities undertaken by the plaintiff, other medical conditions, and/or other events in the context of his play for subsequent teams.”
