Minnesota Wild assistant coach Darryl Sydor on Monday pleaded guilty to second-degree driving while he was impaired. The judge has given him 60 days in jail, to be served in separate installments over the course of four years.
Sydor released a statement on Monday, apologizing for his actions and that he is saddened and humbled by his actions.
Sydor had gotten himself into this situation when he was driving his son to a hockey game in Plymouth. He had gotten lost somewhere along the drive and another driver saw him driving erratically and called the police. When Sydor got to the police department, he got a breath test, and it gave out a reading of 0.30.
I'm not gonna say much on this issue because I have gotten criticizing comments before about how I take legal issues like this but I will say this. 0.30 is over the legal limit and he shouldn't be driving at that time. The worse part of this story is that he had a child in the car and child endangerment probably should've been added to the charges, but I'm guessing it wasn't as bad as it might've thought, but still. Having a child in the car while drunk driving? That's never a good sign.
Even if you're the assistant coach of a hockey team, you still are part of the team and represent the team's picture and this can't look good for the Minnesota Wild. But they are 2-0 so far this season, so we'll see where that goes. But I just don't like it when you are suspected of drunk driving and there's a child in the car with you. That's all I'll say on this issue.
