“Last night I made comments to an opposing player that were stupid and offensive. After the game, I spoke with the opposing player in person, which I’m very grateful for. He allowed me to apologize and I took full responsibility for what I said,” said Manning in a statement released by the Condors on Tuesday.Oilers assistant general manager Keith Gretzky called the comment “unacceptable.”
“This is a very serious matter, we are disappointed by Brandon’s comment and we fully support the American Hockey League’s decision,” said Gretzky in a statement. “The Oilers and Condors organizations wholeheartedly believe in a respectful workplace and will work to better educate our players on appropriate conduct on and off the ice.”
