Stripdown costs coach rest of season

Published Feb. 24, 2011 12:00 a.m. ET

An assistant coach for a Colorado professional hockey team was suspended for the season after he became upset at referees and proceeded to strip his clothes off, FOXNews.com reported Thursday.

Greg Pankewicz of the Central Hockey League's (CHL) Colorado Eagles was angered after a referee pushed one of his players away from a series of fights that occurred during the team's 5-1 win Saturday.

The assistant coach then threw his jacket, shirt and shoes onto the ice and launched a tirade at the official wearing only his pants and socks, according to CBS Denver.

The CHL decided to suspend Pankewicz for 14 games — the remainder of their regular season.
