AWARDS AND HONORS
WHA Draft Pick: 1972 (by Winnipeg)
Miscellaneous:
Full name is Conley Michael Forey. ... Fined $10,000 and suspended by WHL for
remainder of 1973-74 season and all of 1974-75 season for assaulting referee
Malcolm Ashford and breaking his nose in a game at Seattle on Feb. 21, 1974.
At the time, it was the harshest punishment in professional hockey history.
Forey began punching Ashford in the face after disagreeing with a penalty
call. He appealed his suspension and was reinstated in July 1974. ... Became
investment banker and financial advisor after retirement from hockey. |
| HOW HE GOT AWAY |
| INTER-LEAGUE DRAFT: Pittsburgh's minor-league
franchise (Hershey, AHL) left Forey unprotected for the 1972 Inter-League
Draft, and he was claimed by the New York Islanders on June 6, 1972. |
