Knoxville Ice Bears defenseman Jason Price was suspended indefinitely by the Southern Professional Hockey League on Sunday for an incident in the final minute of Saturday's game at Huntsville, Ala.

With 46 seconds left in the game against the Havoc, Price received a match penalty for attempt to injure. Media reports and video from the game show Price shooting the puck from his end into the bench of the Havoc. Huntsville won 6-2.

The Peoria Journal-Star reported that the "puck struck the Huntsville trainer in the head and bloodied him."

A game release by the Havoc only reports "tensions flared in the final minutes of the contest," but makes no mention of what Price did.

The SPHL said a final decision on the length of Price's suspension will be announced following a review by league officials.

A request for comment from the Ice Bears on Sunday was not received as of Monday morning.

Huntsville center Eric Witzel skated after Price following the penalty and the two fought before being separated by officials.

After order was restored another fight broke out. Both goalies received game misconducts for fighting after Tyler Steel of Huntsville squared off with Brian Billett of Knoxville. The two were separated after Steel knocked Billett to the ice.

The league suspended Witzel for one game. He was assessed a major penalty for fighting and a game misconduct for being the aggressor in the final five minutes of regulation time.

Price is in his fourth season with the Ice Bears and 14th season of pro hockey.

The Ice Bears have 10 regular season games remaining. Knoxville (25-15-6) is fifth in the standings and has clinched a playoff berth.
