Player Suspended Indefinitely After Altercation with Referee in ECHL Game

Zach Walker, a player for the Adirondack Thunder, was involved in an incident with a referee during a game against the Newfoundland Growlers.


On his way to the penalty box, Walker apparently hit a referee.

Walker was removed from the game and the ECHL decided to suspend him indefinitely while they reach a verdict on the incident.



If he's found guilty, Walker could be suspended for 20 games for breaking rule 40.2.
