A Canadian hockey analyst has apologized for comments he made on a Winnipeg Jets broadcast earlier this month about using plastic wrap to tie a player to a pillar.
Kevin Sawyer said before Tuesday’s Jets game at Carolina that he regretted his comments about the alleged incident involving the Minnesota Wild’s Jared Spurgeon.
Spurgeon was a defenseman for the Spokane Chiefs when the broadcaster was an assistant coach with the Western Hockey League team. Sawyer said his comments about the incident involving Spurgeon were inaccurate and that nothing “harmful or demeaning” was done to the then-teenage player.
