Mass Hockey Overturns Decision To Ban Twins From Lynn League

LYNN (CBS) - The twin 9-year-old boys who were kicked out of their youth hockey league are now free to rejoin the team.

In February, Austin and William Foglietta were banned by Lynn Youth Hockey.

In January, Austin scored his 200th goal and wanted to keep the puck. Some people frowned at that.

His parents claimed their coach, Bill Norcross, threw a bag of pucks at their son. Norcross denied that ever happened and the family was barred from the league for the accusation.

The family never got a hearing so Massachusetts Hockey reversed Lynn Youth Hockey's decision.
