The New Jersey Devils have issued a statement in support of defenseman P.K. Subban and his brother Jordan, who was subjected to a racist gesture during an ECHL contest, and against all such disgusting and appalling acts of its kind.
"We stand in support of Jordan, P.K., the Subban family and anyone who has experienced discrimination within our sport. This week's racist acts within the hockey community are unacceptable and have no place in the game or anywhere."
Jordan, 26, was involved in an altercation Saturday night after being taunted by an opposing player, Jacob Panetta, with a racist and dehumanizing gesture.
