Montreal Impact draft pick Steven Jalopski has come under fire today after several media sources reported that photos of him terrorizing local nightclubs have surfaced. Jalopski was selected 19th overall in monday's NWJHL entry draft. Although he wasn't expected to be drafted by a contending team, the reigning Four Star Cup Champion Montreal Impact took a gamble on the bruising winger. His selection was met with mixed reactions by the team's fan base, and last night's events may have already soured Jalopski's relationship with his new team and city.

It has been reported that after having his name called and donning the blue and silver of the Impact, Jalopski and his entourage left the Source of Impact arena for a night of celebration. However, things quickly got out of hand. Numerous local establishments, including a neighbourhood pub, 3 nightclubs, and a public library branch have reported more than $400,000 worth of property damage attributed to Jalopski's draft night partying. It's thought that his entourage of close-to two-dozen people started their drunken rampage at "Light Ultra" nightclub on St. Catherine's street. Approximately within one hour of Jalopski's arrival, the authorities were called to the scene. When they arrived, the nightclub was turned upside-down, several patrons were in need of medical attention, and two car-fires had to be extinguished in the club parking lot.

From there, Jalopski's entourage proceeded through Montreal's nightclub district, leaving thousands of dollars in property damage and unpaid tabs in their wake. At this point, it is unconfirmed, but believed that the car accident which occurred at the CÃ´te-des-Neiges Library, was also attributed to a member of the Jalopski party. A late-model lexus automobile smashed through the front entrance of the library at around 4:30am this morning. The driver of the vehicle fled the scene, and police are unsure of their identity or whereabouts. The Montreal Police Service is looking for anyone who may have further information.

At 10am this morning, Jalopski reported to the police precinct for questioning, but was not held. It is unclear if Jalopski has been charged, or will have to re-appear in court at a later date. There have been no concrete reports that Jalopski, himself, was the cause of any damage or injuries, but police are still investigating. The Montreal Impact organization have declined to comment on the events, but have re-affirmed they are fully behind their draft pick, until he is found guilty of any wrong-doing. Jalopski is still slated to join up with his team to begin pre-season training camp. Whether the events of Monday night will derail his career, before it even begins, remains to be seen. Jalopski has not yet made himself available to the media for comment.
