Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Milan Lucic mugshot revealed after being arrested for beating his wife in GBV.
The Boston Bruins confirmed that forward Lucic is taking an indefinite leave of absence for the team.
“The Boston Bruins are aware of the situation involving Milan Lucic Friday evening. Milan is taking an indefinite leave of absence from the team. The organization takes these matters very seriously, and we will work with the Lucic family to provide any support and assistance they may need. We will have no further comment at this time,” the team said in a statement.
“It’s tough to see your teammates and your friends going through stuff like this and their family. Yea definitely worried about Britt and the kids and Luc himself, but they have all the support in the world. Anything they need we are going to be here for them,” said Bruins Captain Brad Marchand before the game on Saturday.
The 35-year-old Lucic was originally a second-round draft pick by the Bruins in 2006, and he went on to become a key player for Boston for nearly a decade.
During the Bruins’ Stanley Cup-winning season of 2010-11, the Canadian forward set career highs with 30 goals and 62 points.
Boston traded Lucic to the Los Angeles Kings in 2015, and after one season in L.A., he played three seasons with the Edmonton Oilers and four seasons with the Calgary Flames.
When Lucic hit free agency during the offseason, the Bruins signed him to a one-year, $1 million deal that includes $500,000 in incentives, per Cap Friendly.
WBZ TV reached out to Boston Police, who said they couldn’t confirm anything, and the Suffolk County District Attorney, who said they had nothing on the incident.
Lucic has been out with an ankle injury since late October. The 35-year-old returned to the Bruins at the start of the season after playing with the Calgary Flames for the past four years.
Advocates say that this is a reminder that domestic violence can exist anywhere.
