Former Buffalo Sabres enforcer Andrew Peters has been suspended from coaching the Jr. Sabres midget club after video of a brawl that broke out Saturday appears to show him striking a young player.
"We are very disappointed in the series of events that unfolded during the 15U Buffalo Jr. Sabres game on Saturday," said Buffalo Jr. Sabres president Kevyn Adams in a statement released Sunday via the Buffalo News. "We are currently reviewing the situation and in the meantime have suspended head coach Andrew Peters indefinitely until the matter is resolved."
Buffalo Police are also believed to be looking into the incident.
Peters played for the Sabres from 2003-09 and retired in 2010 after a brief stint in New Jersey. He amassed 650 penalty minutes in 229 career games.
