Hello CCHL media, fans, players and staff.
On November 6th 2020, the Buffalo Sabres were taking on the Tampa Bay Lightning in a 730pm Eastern game at the KeyBank Center in Buffalo.
At the 6:59 mark of the third period Mr Simmonds realized he had eclipsed his personal max of 15 minutes on ice time per game. As he entered the ice for what he wanted to make sure was his final shift, he looked for the first chump he could find, and along came Hayton. Simmonds skated beside Hayton the entire shift blowing in his ear until he finally had enough and dropped the gloves with Simmonds.
Wayne was removed from the game and no other incidents occured. He was given an instigator and game misconduct. As part of an instigator is an automatic game misconduct and suspension. Mr Simmonds was notified via cell phone while he was eatign happy hour chicken wings at the bar.
Mr Simmonds sat out the teams next game.
