A former top pick of the Calgary Flames Topi Ronni was recently accused of a heinous crime, and now, a verdict has been handed down to the 19-year old.

Flames prospect officially suspended for 12 months

The accusation dates back two years, with details released on the entire situation here:

Tappara SM league team player Topi Rönni is suspected of ****. The suspected crime took place more than two years ago. Rönni has told the club itself about the suspected crime.

"Today, I have received a summons application related to the matter. The last two or so years have been hard waiting for the matter to progress. I trust that the related course of events will be clarified in connection with the trial. For the time being, I'm out of the team's activities and I'm focusing on handling the matter ," says Rönni.

The Helsinki District Court has not yet determined the hearing date of the case and the case documents have been ordered to be kept secret.

"We take the suspected crime seriously, but we are waiting for the court hearing and will evaluate the player's position afterwards. This is also about labor law" , says Tamhockey Oy CEO Mika Aro .

Neither Tappara nor Rönni will comment further on the case at this stage.

Now, the Finnish forward has officially been handed down a full one-year suspension by SM-Illiga, the top league in Finland.

"Topi Rönni (#Flames) has been sentenced to a one-year suspended sentence for **** by the Helsinki district court. Rönni was 17 years old at the time of the incident. The ruling is not final.

Tappara is set to comment on the situation later via an announcement."

More details will continue to come out about this story, so we will continue to keep fans update as it develops.
