CHARLOTTETOWN-a Prince Edward Island Junior hockey player who mauled social media for his reaction to a racist slur at his teammate has been suspended indefinitely by the League.

Keegan Mitchell shared a letter he received Thursday from Hockey P. E. I. in which he informed him of the suspension for violating the League’s social media policies, publicly maul officials and Hockey P. E. I. and referring to a player from the rival Kensington Vipers.

The letter from Mike Hammill, chairman of the IAP Hockey Discipline and Ethics Commission, states in part that the Committee considered Mitchell to be “a member without a good reputation,” meaning he was suspended from all activities sanctioned by the Provincial Hockey Federation.

Mitchell, 20, said this during a Dec. 17 Junior B League game, a Vipers player made an anti-Asian comment to one of Mitchell’s Sherwood Metros teammates. Mitchell said he didn’t feel comfortable revealing what the other player said.

After in the match, Mitchell confronted the insulting player, punched him in the legs and won a two-game barrage.

“I got out of there and I told the guy that what he said is very racist and that he has no place in the game,” Mitchell said in an interview Friday.

Hockey PEI did not respond to a request for comment Friday, but its general manager told CBC News that the Vipers player received a two-game lockout for the rude comment.

In a Jan. 5 Facebook post, Mitchell mauled Hockey PEI’s reaction to the incident and said the Vipers Player’s actions deserved a harsher punishment.

“For those of you who know me personally or through hockey, I’m pretty sure you’ll recognize me as someone who always stands up for himself, but more importantly for my friends and teammates,” Mitchell wrote.

“If Hockey PEI had taken these scenarios as seriously as you say, this player would have been appropriately suspended…. A two-game ban for a racist insult is absolutely disgraceful.”The “pathetic suspension,” he concluded, “makes our entire community racist.”

Mitchell said he now had the opportunity to appeal his suspension and added that he also intended to talk about the incident.

“I’m not going to let that go,” he said. “If I don’t play hockey anymore, it’s good for me, because I’ll action until it’s ok.”
