AHL suspends Clark Bishop after two nasty crosschecks to the face (video)
The AHL has released it's verdict in the case of Clark Bishop of the Calgary Wranglers. Bishop was kicked out of a game last Friday against the Colorado Eagles after he delivered two brutal crosschecks to the face of Charles Hudon. The league has since announced that Bishop will sit for four games in total. He's already missed one, meaning he's out the next three.
The first crosscheck is easy to miss if you aren't looking at the right spot. Keep an eye on the lower right corner, where Bishop and Hudon are standing face-to-face. Bishop shoves his stick into Hudon's face, knocking him to the ice. As Hudon gets up to his knees while taking a retaliatory swing, Bishop drills him with another nasty crosscheck to the mouth, causing his neck to snap backwards awkwardly.
Bishop is a former fourth round pick of the Carolina Hurricanes who has managed 47 games in the NHL since 2016. Hudon started last season in Switzerland, but signed in the AHL after 33 games there. He currently has a contract with the Colorado Avalanche.
