Admirals to Appeal Downie Suspension

March 5, 2009 - American Hockey League (AHL) - Norfolk Admirals News Release


NORFOLK, VA - The Norfolk Admirals are appealing the 20-game suspension handed down to right wing Steve Downie for his actions in a game against the Hershey Bears on February 28.

Downie was suspended indefinitely immediately following the game and he has served three games under that indefinite suspension to this point. He was assessed a game misconduct under the provisions of AHL Rule 41.2 (Category 1) for deliberately striking an official with his stick.

The club understands Downie remains on indefinite suspension, pending the appeal, and its players, coaches and staff will have no further comment on this matter until its resolution.
