Dollard dad wins street hockey court case

A father in Dollard Des Ormeaux won his right to play street hockey in court Thursday. David Sasson successfully contested a $75 fine handed to him for playing street hockey with his son on their street.

A neighbor complained about the game of street hockey to public security. When the security official showed up, Sasson refused to stop the game. The police were then called and Sasson was ticketed.

There is a bylaw against street hockey. However, Sasson points out the bylaw is in place for safety reasons. He says safety was evidently not in question on their quiet crescent street.
