A hearing is to take place between the league and the Professional Hockey Players' Association. In a statement Sunday, Icemen CEO Andy Kaufmann said the team will be releasing Panetta effective immediately.
"On behalf of the entire Icemen organization, we apologize to any one who was offended and look forward to beginning the process of healing together as one," the statement said.
