Kastelic's
10-Game Suspension: Kastelic
was suspended by the NHL
for 10 games during 1990-91 season because he left the bench and fought Mike Peluso during Hartford's Feb. 10, 1991, game vs. Chicago. Kastelic had been
coming onto the ice for a line change after a fight between two other
players, but before the puck was dropped for the next faceoff, he began
fighting Peluso, who was already on the ice. The following
day, the NHL announced a 10-game suspension for Kastelic to demonstrate its
strict interpretation of rules against players coming off the bench
to fight during breaks in the action. Kastelic also sat out three other
games during the 1990-91 season as automatic suspensions for having taken excessive game misconduct penalties. |

Biting Suspension: Kastelic
might be best known for a 20-game suspension he received from the AHL in
1988-89. Kastelic was forced to sit out a quarter of the league's season
after biting linesman Frank Quigley during Binghamton's Dec. 30, 1988 game at
Springfield. The incident took place while Kastelic was fighting
Springfield's Rod Dallman. As Quigley tried to break up the fight, Kastelic
bit him. Still struggling to get out of Quigley's grasp, Kastelic
accidentally hit his forearm against the linesman's head. The incident drew
a game misconduct penalty at the time, but AHL president Jack Butterfield
and vice-president Gord Anziano both happened to be at the game, and wasted
little time in further punishing Kastelic. They announced the automatic
20-game suspension for attempting to injure an official on Jan. 4, 1989. It
marked only the second time in AHL history that a player had been suspended
for endangering an official. Years earlier, Sherbrooke goalie Warren
Skorodenski was suspended for swinging his stick at a referee during a Nov.
20, 1983, game vs. New Haven. Ironically, Kastelic would be at the center of
another biting incident several weeks later when he was bitten on the hand
by Kevin Kerr during a fight in Binghamton's March 11, 1989, game at
Rochester.
Personal: Full name is Edward P.
Kastelic. |
| HOW HE GOT AWAY |
