Strutt, originally from Estevan, has been involved in Saskatchewan’s hockey scene for several years. He played two seasons with the Estevan Bruins of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) during the 2019 and 2020 seasons. After his time with the Bruins, he joined the Oxbow Huskies in 2022, later suiting up for the Bienfait Coalers in 2023.
Few details have been released about the circumstances leading to the charges.
Strutt’s case has caught the attention of the southeast Saskatchewan sports community, where he was known as an emerging offensive player. During his time with the Estevan Bruins, Strutt was featured in local media for his on-ice development and involvement in community initiatives.
