The Toronto Marlies were eliminated from the Calder Cup Playoffs today by the Belleville Senators in game 3 of their series. Following the game, both teams convened at center ice for the customary handshake.
As players exchanged pleasantries, Kyle Clifford appeared to take issue with a player, identified as Boko Imama, and initiated a confrontation.
Fortunately, referees intervened swiftly, preventing further escalation. The motive behind Clifford's actions remains unclear. However, the incident marks the end of his season, while the Belleville Senators advance in their pursuit of the Calder Cup.
