Looked a lot like an open hand push to the chest, not that he should be getting physical w 15 year olds, however this one in particular seemed to be trying to go into his teams bench.

 

I'm guessing a suspension as coach and a public apology on the radio show.

Having level 4 USA Hockey coaching certification, any physical contact with any player is extremely frowned upon. We're talking min 30 day suspension, and the Jr Sabres most likely permanently relieve him of his coaching duties.

Btw, I do sorta wonder whether Peters' (mis)conduct will prompt WGR to reflect on the name of that show (assuming Peters continues in his role there). There's a part of the world of hockey that wants to continue to wink and nod at the game's Neanderthal past.

Of course its stupid.. but it didn't cause long term career pain for Mike Milbury when he assaulted a 12 year old.

Oy. Good point. Forgot about that.

 

And Milbury is, from what I can tell, in a league similar to Peters in terms of mentality.

Hey Oh!

 

I've typed it here before: Peters is, at best, a Delta Bravo, and, at worst, a POS.

He's pretty close to the latter. Knew a few people who went to the roast of Biron, and Peters was obnoxious, bordering on belligerent, to the point where he significantly reduced their enjoyment of the event. Yelling out whole others were roasting, near constant barrage of F-bombs when it was his turn. Just bad all around.

I was talking to my wife about this story this morning...and she said the same thing about the name of the WGR show. 

 

She isn't really a hockey fan, only watches a few minutes a year of games and goes to one with me every few years....but she wanted to know why they chose that name for the show for the reason you mentioned.

Ugh.

 

It's purely charity that leads me to allow for the d.b. characterization. I have had a few personal experiences with/near him, and I am firmly in the POS camp.

 

I have listened to his show a few times. He's actually somewhat serviceable in that role of hockey talker.

Why not just say douchebag

A weird hang-up of mine. Not sure.

My one time experiencing Andrew Peters in person was enough for me.  Plenty of arrogance for a guy whose primary job was a fist stop in the NHL.

The economics of finding commentators for NHL media seems to come down to the fact fighters and tough guys are cheaper to get than skill guys that probably are rich and not interested in a second career. At least in local markets. Just a thought
