Quote:
What follows is a summary of the league’s findings, and a statement from Johnston:
The Winterhawks were found to have committed the following violations:
•###### A player contract signed in 2009, involving flights for the player’s family and a summer training program
•###### Over the last five years, seven families were provided flights 2-4 times per season based on financial need and their distance from Portland
•###### Twice in the last five years the team paid for two players to each have a one-week summer training regimen
•###### The Winterhawks provided a cell phone for its team captain for a period of three seasons
The WHL’s audit found no violations involving monetary payments made to players, their families or agents, or any violations related to the league’s educational packages.

If what Portland is claiming is true, I wonder what kind of penalties would have been incurred if they had directly paid a player
