Spencer Asuchak, a 19-year-old forward for the Prince George Cougars, has been suspended for eight games for testing positive for a banned substance.
The Western Hockey League, in cooperation with the Canadian Hockey League and the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport, announced the suspension on Monday afternoon.
The substance -- methylhexaneamine -- was found in a Dec. 17 urine sample provided by Asuchak. In a media release, the Cougars said methylhexaneamine is an ingredient in a supplement Asuchak had been taking.
