NHL: Lafleur gets $100 fine, 1-year suspended sentence


Associated Press

MONTREAL — Hockey Hall of Famer Guy Lafleur has been given a one-year suspended sentence, fined $100 and ordered to donate $10,000 to charity for giving contradictory testimony during his son's 2007 bail hearing.

Quebec Court Judge Claude Parent handed down the sentence on Thursday in Montreal.

The prosecution had suggested a conditional sentence to be served in the community while Lafleur's lawyers had asked for a fine.

Lafleur has filed a $3.5-million civil lawsuit against the Montreal police and the Crown over the warrant used to arrest him.

The 57-year-old Lafleur won five Stanley Cups in 14 seasons in Montreal.
