According to the Chronicle Herald, both Dumais and defense attorney Stan MacDonald declined comment after the hearing.
Dumais, a third-round pick (No. 96 overall) of the Blue Jackets in 2022, missed more than a year of hockey with hip and abdominal injuries that required surgery. He made his pro debut midway through last season and finished with four goals and seven assists in 21 games with AHL Cleveland.
