Player challenges entire bench after being sucker punched
Saturday night in the Federal Prospects Hockey League, Vaughan Clouston landed a vicious sucker punch on Alex Soucy. As the two players were tangled up and exiting the zone, Clouston drops his gloves and delivers the wild sucker punch sending Soucy to the ice hard. A crowd immediately grew as things got heated.
When Soucy finally got to his feet he was incensed, and rightfully so. Soucy tried to get to Clouston, but was stopped by officials. Clouston then approached the Motor City Rockers bench and challenged everyone to a fight. When no one obliged Clouston decided to flip off the entire bench.
As the referees continued to keep Clouston separate from everyone they opted to eject him from the game. As he left the ice Clouston made a throat slash gesture to the entire bench. This will likely result in a suspension for Clouston.
On the play both Clouston and Soucy received majors for fighting, while Soucy also received an instigating penalty. Clouston was given the only misconduct as the aggressor, despite being the victim of a sucker punch.
