Assault charges against former Oilers captain Jason Smith have been withdrawn after he agreed to abide by conditions in a one-year peace bond.

A court heard that Smith was charged back in August following an alcohol-fuelled physical altercation with his wife Wendy.

He was released shortly after his arrest and had to abide by a court-ordered separation that prevented Smith from having contact with his wife or visiting their Ontario residence.

The couple is now living together in the Ottawa region. Smith must now continue domestic violence counselling, abstain from alcohol and report to a probation officer.
