CBC SportsThe ECHL has barred Jacksonville Icemen defenceman Jacob Panetta of Belleville, Ont., indefinitely, pending a hearing, for an apparent racial gesture toward fellow Canadian and South Carolina Stingrays blue-liner Jordan Subban in Saturday night's game.Video of the incident 23 seconds into overtime in the Florida city shows Panetta, from Belleville, Ont., appearing to raise his arms toward his side while looking at Subban, also a defenceman and a native of Rexdale, Ont.
After the game, Subban accused Panetta of making a monkey gesture. His older brother P.K., an NHL defenceman with the New Jersey Devils, took to Twitter to react to the incident at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena.
jacobpanetta gave a scripted cookie cutter response. Any other organization would fire him for the same action. Why was this not made public by players, fans or officials? It took the brother PKSubban1 to do so? Therein lies the bigger problem. Suspension not enough.
Wow was I ever surprised at response by. ECHL so fast after apology! Great to say not allowed to do these things but don’t spoil hockey by being offended every time tempers flair! Solution is simple disband ECHL League now or if a fan boycott league and games! Player get Lawyer!
What this 'gesture' was is unclear, and may have been misinterpreted. Everyone get a grip...
There should be no such thing in this world today .We all have the same body parts .Just our skin and race is different .And we all bleed the same colour blood RED
Wow! Good job.

What constitutes a racist gesture in this case? Kids did Asians in school by pulling their eyes back and bucking their teeth but the teachers never thought it was racist. Indians too,by flapping their mouths and warbling - again not considered racist. How does one do white?
I just watched this clip 4 times and I’m not seeing this “gesture”. What time in the clip is all this racism’ing occurring?
ECHL
Kick him out of the league! End the madness and get rid of the bad actors
Kick him of the league; that might wake him and other sup.
After he said? There is footage of the incident

Public Health Agency of Canada involved in 'error' on trucker vaccine rules: CP sources | CBC NewsTurmoil and confusion over whether truckers would remain exempt from the vaccine mandate last week stemmed from bureaucrats misinterpreting policy in more than one federal agency — including the one that co-ordinates Canada's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. What the phac? This is not the right thing to be done A small minority looking for a loophole. The unvaxxed truckers will be stuck in Canada for their protest since the US is implementing the same rule as of January 22. Even protesting at border crossings would be just as illogical for the 'restoration of rights and freedoms'.
