SASKATOON -- Saskatoon Blades defenceman Dalton Thrower has played his last game at the MasterCard Memorial Cup. The Canadian Hockey League has suspended Thrower for the rest of the tournament for his check to the head on Portland Winterhawks forward Taylor Leier. Thrower hit Leier as he cut into the Blades zone in the first period of Portlands 4-2 win on Wednesday night. A bloodied Leier lay motionless before being helped off the ice. There was no penalty called on the play. "Its pretty obvious that its a vicious hit to the head," Portland coach Travis Green told reporters Thursday. "It should have been a five-minute major." Green said Leier has concussion-like symptoms and is "not doing that well." "Im not sure if were going to see him again in the tournament or not," he said. "Doubtful that we will." Leier, a 19-year-old fourth-round pick of the Philadelphia Flyers in 2012, had 27 goals and 35 assists in 64 games with Portland this season. The five-foot-11, 178-pound Saskatoon native has one goal and two assists at the Memorial Cup.
