USA Hockey increases punishment for racial or derogatory slurs by players from a game misconduct to a match penalty. The change does not affect players in the NHL, which operates under its own rules.
USA Hockey announced Wednesday it increased the punishment for racial or derogatory slurs by players from a game misconduct to a match penalty.
USA Hockey President Jim Smith said the rule change was made due to ongoing concerns about racial insensitivity on the ice. The NHL's Washington Capitals later recognized the player, Divyne Apollon II, by inviting him and his teammates to a Capitals game. In 2014, star defenseman P.K. Subban, then with the Montreal Canadians, endured racist social media posts after fans in Boston pelted him with trash following his game-winning playoff goal.Three years before that, Wayne Simmonds, then with the Philadelphia Flyers, had a banana thrown at him while he was taking a shootout shot in a preseason game in London, Ontario.
