As we continue to learn more about Bill Peters allegedly assaulting players during his time in Carolina, Sean Avery has joined the conversation with a similar story about former Kings coach Marc Crawford.
Avery, who retired after the 2011-12 season, told Larry Brooks of the New York Post that Crawford kicked him during a game while the two were with the Kings in 2006-07.
“He kicked me after a too-many-men-on-the-ice call I took,” Avery said. “He didn’t have me serve it, we got scored on, and he let me have it.”
The incident occurred on December 23, 2006 against Nashville, according to Brooks.
