Police say the goalie for the University of New Hampshire men's hockey team has been arrested on an assault charge.
Foster's Daily Democrat reports Rene Kelley, deputy police chief in Durham, said police received a call from a woman early Sunday saying she was a domestic violence victim. She accused Casey DeSmith of assaulting her.
The 23-year-old DeSmith was charged with one count of simple assault and one count of resisting arrest. There was no record Wednesday that he had been arraigned yet.
It was not immediately known if DeSmith had a lawyer. A number for his home in Rochester was disconnected.
The university said in a statement that consistent with its policies, DeSmith has been suspended from the team pending further investigation.
DeSmith has been goalie since 2011.
