One of four people charged in the 2024 death of a New Brunswick man, who was assaulted in Fredericton’s bar district in 2024, has been sentenced.

Tyler Totten, a former player with the Fredericton Red Wings junior hockey team, is the only adult charged in the case and pleaded guilty to assault in the death.

He was 18 when Fredericton police charged him with manslaughter following the death of Andre Bourgeois, 41. However, Totten pleaded guilty to summary assault as part of a plea deal last month.

Judge Lyne Raymond accepted the Crown and defence’s joint recommendation on Tuesday and sentenced Totten to a 12-month suspended sentence and 12 months of probation.

The sentence includes 100 hours of community service and any potential counselling.
