at #Boston Municipal Court on a domestic charge. A jury trial has been set for February 16th, so this is going to trial. Lucic is accused of dragging his wife by the hair during argument in November
Lucic had taken an indefinite leave from the Bruins in mid-November last year following his arrest in connection with a domestic violence incident involving his wife. The charges are now progressing, with both his wife and the District Attorney moving forward. According to the police report from the night of the arrest, Lucic was visibly intoxicated, and signs of abuse were noted by officers, including redness around his wife's chest. In the 911 call, Lucic's wife alleged that he attempted to choke her.
Following the incident, Lucic officially entered the NHLPA's Player Assistance Program for alcoholism. The Bruins organization released a statement expressing support for Lucic's decision to enter the program, stating that he remains on an indefinite leave of absence from the team. The organization refrained from further comments on his rehabilitation and legal proceedings.
The potential outcomes of Lucic's trial remain unclear, but it appears increasingly unlikely that he will return to the NHL. Further updates on Lucic's case will be closely monitored as it progresses through the legal system.
