New Jersey Devils defenceman P.K. Subban did not mince words on social media calling out Jacksonville Icemen defenceman Jacob Panetta of the East Coast Hockey League after an apparent racist gesture made against P.K.'s brother Jordan Subban of the South Carolina Stingrays, as fans chanted the N-word.
When the Icemen posted on Twitter an innocuous description of the beginning of overtime including multiple penalties for both teams during Saturday night's game, Jordan Subban responded with more details.
"More like @Jpanetta12 was too much of a coward to fight me and as soon as I began to turn my back he started making monkey gestures at me so I punched him in the face multiple times and he turtled like the coward he is," Jodan wrote. "There, fixed it."
The ECHL announced Sunday that Panetta has been suspended indefinitely, pending an investigation.
