Reports from a fan on X stated that Millette swung his stick at a fan on Friday night while leaving the ice. The following night, during Saturday's game, Millette was involved in another altercation with fans, which led to his ejection. Witnesses have since called on the SPHL to investigate his behavior.
"The SPHL needs to act on an incident that occurred after the Marksmen at the Mayhem game. Reggie Millette att*cked a fan with his stick as he left the ice Friday night. Saturday night team handlers had to get between him and the fans as he was sent off the ice Saturday night."
In a statement, the Fayetteville Marksmen confirmed that they are aware of Millette's actions and decided to suspend him indefinitely, citing «conduct detrimental to the organization.»
Here's the official statement from the team:
Millette, 24, has had a notable journey in hockey, with experience in 34 ECHL games with the Tulsa Oilers, the Anaheim Ducks' affiliate. In 2020, he earned an NCAA scholarship, recognized for his commitment and perseverance. Bauer also highlighted Millette's story in a 2022 video:
Though Millette has overcome numerous obstacles to reach the professional level, this incident is a reminder of the importance of self-control on and off the ice. While his story is inspiring, engaging in altercations with fans is unacceptable, and his suspension underscores the need for professionalism in all situations.
Stay tuned for further updates as this story develops.
