LEAMINGTON, ON
With the commerce conflict heating up issues are getting testy, even on the rink. Final month a participant was suspended for calling one other participant a Mennonite and now defenceman Brian Wiebe of Leamington has been suspended indefinitely for shouting “American” at a member of the Aylmer Hawks.
“Yeah effectively I simply name it like I see it,” mentioned Wiebe. “And that man’s positively an American. Performs like one anyway.”
The phrases weren’t taken too kindly by hockey authorities who’re making an attempt to chill issues down earlier than it will get uncontrolled.
“We take this very critically,” mentioned Commissioner Richard Kehler. “We will’t have folks shouting insults like that. I imply positive, he might barely skate and his puck dealing with is pathetic, however that doesn’t imply he must be known as an American.”
Kehler can also be asking followers to not boo the American anthem and as an alternative pray for his or her souls.
