Michigan State men's hockey player, Jagger Joshua, accuses OSU player of using racial slur 'multiple times' during game
Joshua alleged that during the Spartans’ 4-3 victory on Nov. 11 in East Lansing, Michigan, an OSU player called him a racial slur “multiple times,” before an official heard it and assessed the Buckeyes player a game misconduct. The only player on either team assessed a game misconduct was OSU forward Kamil Sadlocha at 10:39 of the second period.
Sadlocha, 23, is a senior who was a redshirt freshman when Dakota Joshua, now with the NHL's Vancouver Canucks, was an OSU senior.“The Ohio State Department of Athletics and the men’s hockey program worked collaboratively with the Big Ten Conference to come to a resolution in response to the allegation of misconduct toward the Big Ten sportsmanship policy. Ohio State is focused on providing an inclusive and supportive environment for all.
An Ohio State representative did not immediately reply to a request for clarification about the collaborative"resolution" that OSU and the Big Ten Conference settled upon after the investigation. According Rule 79.3 in the 2022-23 and 2023-24 NCAA Ice Hockey Rulebook, which pertains to “ethnic/racial slurs,” the penalty for directing ethnic or racial slurs to officials, opposing players or opposing team personnel is a “game misconduct with the exception of medical personnel. Medical personnel are subject to supplementary discipline penalties.”
Sadlocha has five goals, three assists and eight points in 14 games. Since the Nov. 11 game, he played in both of OSU’s games against Notre Dame this past weekend and hasn’t yet missed any games. He was born in Poland, lists Carpentersville, Illinois, as his hometown and spent two seasons in the USHL — including one that overlapped with Joshua's time in that league.
