A girl’s former hockey coach has been sentenced to 60 days in jail for sexually exploiting one of his players when she was 15.

The Herald reports 33-year-old Michael Bourgeois will serve his sentence on weekends and will also take counseling.

The incident happened last fall after the coach took the girl and her friend for dinner.

Bourgeois dropped the friend off and then drove the teen girl home at which point he grabbed and kissed her.

The former coach must also provide a DNA sample and be registered as a sex offender for ten years.
