League Suspends Popular Enforcer Indefinitely For Repeat Incidents
This league has just suspended an extremely popular enforcer for repeat incidents, and this is the reason they gave.
Amesbury Suspended Indefinitely For Repeat Infractions
There is no question that many hockey leagues are working to eliminate some of the violent behaviour that used to be commonplace in the game of hockey. Now, the Federal Prospects Hockey League (FPHL) has taken it one step further, banning a well-known enforcer for repeat suspensions.
Daniel Amesbury has become a micro-celebrity in the hockey world for his toughness and fighting. However, that has also now cost him. The FPHL has just suspended Amesbury indefinitely for his repeat suspensions this season. Here's what they had to say about it.
Amesbury No Longer Able to Rack Up Penalty Minutes
Amesbury has made his name of being a pure enforcer, not doing much on the ice besides racking up the penalty minutes. In just 9 games this year, Amesbury has a whopping 72 penalty minutes. Last season he tallied 298 minutes in 29 games, over 10 minutes in penalties per game.
With hockey changing, the FPHL is taking things into its own hands to prevent this type of pure enforcer from playing in the league. Do you think this is right?
