Wow...what a crazy situation.  Just reread the entire thread to refresh my memory.  Feel real bad for all the players involved.

I don't think the son plays there anymore. I think he left after the first incident.

"Dave Branch met with the owners and then a group of 5 players who represented the players.

The owner signed a letter of agreement saying he would not meddle in the operations of the team and was given a warning that next time he will be punished."

I think many thought that would be the smart thing to do and maybe there were rumours that he was to be traded, but if it's true what Rod said in the shoutbox - that he was the only one to show up to a player's meeting - then this kid doesn't have the backing of his own teammates. Horrible.
