The former P.E.I. Rocket hockey player accused of assault causing bodily harm testified Wednesday that he didn't mean to break a woman's nose.

Chris Doyle, 20, said he was breaking team curfew, out drinking with three Rocket teammates, when he showed up at his ex girlfriend's apartment last September.

Doyle said he swore at his ex-girlfriend and her friend after they told him to leave their apartment.

He testified that he then punched the door, which hit the woman's face, because she was standing behind the door.

Last month, Doyle's ex-girlfriend told the court Doyle was drunk, jealous and violent the night he showed up at her apartment in mid-September. She said she hadn't locked her door, because it was close to midnight and she expected her roommate home soon.

She testified she heard a noise and found Doyle in her apartment. He was swearing and calling her names. She said he shoved past her, looking for a man in her bedroom.

Later, as she tried to get Doyle out of her apartment, he hit the door so hard, it struck her roommate in the face, snapping her head back and breaking her nose.

Charlottetown provincial court Judge John Douglas will now consider his verdict.

Doyle now plays for the Victoriaville Tigres of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, after spending nearly four years playing for the P.E.I. Rocket.
