Former Anaheim Ducks prospect suspended indefinitely following a heated altercation with a fan
The Fayetteville Marksmen, a North Carolina pro hockey team, has suspended player Reggie Millette indefinitely after an incident involving fans during a Southern Professional Hockey League (SPHL) game over the weekend against the Macon Mayhem.
Reports from a fan on X stated that Millette swung his stick at a fan on Friday night while leaving the ice. The following night, during Saturday's game, Millette was involved in another altercation with fans, which led to his ejection. Witnesses have since called on the SPHL to investigate his behavior.
In a statement, the Fayetteville Marksmen confirmed that they are aware of Millette's actions and decided to suspend him indefinitely, citing «conduct detrimental to the organization.»
Here's the official statement from the team:
Millette, 24, has had a notable journey in hockey, with experience in 34 ECHL games with the Tulsa Oilers, the Anaheim Ducks' affiliate. In 2020, he earned an NCAA scholarship, recognized for his commitment and perseverance. Bauer also highlighted Millette's story in a 2022 video:
Though Millette has overcome numerous obstacles to reach the professional level, this incident is a reminder of the importance of self-control on and off the ice. While his story is inspiring, engaging in altercations with fans is unacceptable, and his suspension underscores the need for professionalism in all situations.
