Kicking has no place in the game of hockey, same goes with diving... both can be used in soccer, so you're in the wrong sport buddy!
In addition to the whopping seven game suspension handed out by Liiga, he also tallied up a whopping 50 penalty minutes during that handshake line altercation.
Kodytek was given two 5+20 minute penalties for unsportsmanlike conduct and kicking an opponent after the end of a league match against the Aces on Saturday.
