Canadian Dynamo striker Wil fined for obscene gesture towards KHL referee
Canadian Dynamo forward Jordan Weal showed an obscene gesture to the referee at a Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) match and was punished. This was reported on the website of the organization.
The incident occurred in the third period of the game against the St. Petersburg SKA. The arbitrators canceled the Dynamo goal due to the fact that Wil, on the patch, crashed his skate into the shield of the rival goalkeeper Dmitry Nikolaev. For an emotional reaction, the player was given a monetary fine.
On October 4 last year, Wil announced pressure from his homeland due to performances in Russia while playing for Ak Bars. The hockey player remembered that his fiancee wanted to stay in Kazan until the end of the KHL playoffs in the 2021/2022 season. “But there was pressure from home, and we decided that it was better for her to leave. Relatives and friends thought that we were being kept locked in houses, but we were all right, ”he said.
Wil, 30, joined the Moscow club in the 2022/2023 season, signing a two-year contract. In 45 games for the blue and white, he scored ten goals and made 22 assists. Previously, the Canadian played for Ak Bars for a year.
