Hockey Player Suspended After Mooning Fans

WHEELING, W.Va. - A minor league hockey player sitting in the stands was suspended after dropping his pants to fans in the crowd.

Dan Sullivan of the Reading Royals was suspended Thursday for 12 games and fined an undisclosed sum by the ECHL for "making multiple obscene gestures" during the Nov. 7 game against the Wheeling Nailers at WesBanco Arena.

The Royals already had indefinitely suspended Sullivan for his actions. Team spokesman John Curtis said Sullivan most likely will not play for the club again.

Sullivan, who was in the stands with another player, began arguing with fans and dropped his pants, according to Wheeling fans and one of the team's owners.

"It was a tight game, and I heard he was probably getting some taunting from the fans," Nailers co-owner Rob Brooks said. "But that's in all sports, so it's up to the players to stay responsible."

Sullivan, a right wing, had played four games for Reading.

"We insist that our athletes adhere to very professional levels of conduct and that all their actions represent this organization with class and dignity," Royals general manager Ray Delia said.

Hey TO! Glad to see you're checking in here again. But you need to try to stop by more often. We already posted this in our "Say What" thread, and Veca admitted to "dopping the pants"

I think The One is getting tired of us getting away from the subject on some of the threads....I for one don't understand...

[DropThePuck]

Well, we have been drifting way off in some of the topics with no pretense of ever getting back on ...

I know, I'm sorry!! I just can't seem to help myself.....it just always happens!!!

Like dropping the pants at hockey games...some are so against it while I say, why not???

[DropThePuck]

Why not??! Why ... the aesthetics, of course! Some cracks should never see the light of day.

Now if that was Burnett droping his drawers, I'd really get excited. Why is it that the good looking guys NEVER deliver??? It's always some guy who can't even make the NHL and probably looks like crap!! But I still think they over reacted with the punishment. The punishment did not fit the "crime". (Then I havn't seen any pictures of the player)

Players need to be held to a higher standard than the drunks in the crowd. Otherwise, we'll have another basketball scene, which hockey does not need. He was already in the stands rather than on the ice, so perhaps there were some other disciplinary measures on him. We already have enough brats in the NHL ... we don't need any more coming up through the ranks.

I don't have to turn my eyes.....after years of seeing patients of every size and shape...nudity is way different for me than it would be for anyone of you...Nudity means nothing to me after all of what I have seen.

I'm guessing the hockey player's butt was in good shape! Maybe Artest should have just mooned the fans instead of bothering to attack them! If he had, we would have seen a lot less replays....

My first reaction to the thread was to laugh because mooning fans, that's a hoot. But I guess I understand them taking action on the guy because...well, there could have been children there that didn't want to see some hockey player's bum.

I fear the children would have enjoyed it the most, laughing all the way home....
