Multiple Penticton minor hockey coaches have been removed from their positions and an investigation into “potential wrongdoing” is underway, according to the Penticton Minor Hockey Association (PMHA).

Although the PMHA did not say what is being investigated, multiple sources close to the situation say coaches of a U13 Tier 3 team were dismissed in connection to an alleged incident that involved giving players “caffeine pills,” without parents’ consent, Black Press has learned.
