'Diamond Hands' Daniel Amesbury Suspended From The FPHL Indefinitely

[@mikebowers5228]

Hey Daniel, say adios to that FPHL clownshow and welcome to the Fort Wayne Komets ! As a Komets season ticket holder I can tell you that we are fired up to be getting some much needed muscle...our team is built on speed so we tend to get pushed around. I'm sure that the ECHL will be watching you so keep the hits clean and never be the instigator because the league is quick to hand out suspensions. Can't wait to see you at the games !

[@freshstart349]

This kid Amesbury isn't a bad guy. He plays rough but is a good person. Which is evident on this podcast. It was meant to be. Go Komets! God bless man

[@Dutch1982]

20 years ago the Fed would have been full of guys like Ames, now they want guys like Ames out of the league.

[@johnseibert3909]

#17!!!! Let’s go Ames!!! I can’t wait for Sunday night in the jungle!

[@ChefestGrandma]

Komet fans are excited to have Daniel on our team😊 My husband and I have been attending Komets games together for 47 years. We love this pod cast.

[@mikebowers5228]

Hi Deb !

[@dbtrashers]

Can't wait!!

[@jasonj.hayward6884]

Ames seems like such a cool dude. Kind of guy you want in your locker room and on the ice with you. A.J. and the loyalty is freaking awesome. I am basically binge watching all of these episodes now. Keep up the awesome work.

Welcome to Fort Wayne! Looking forward to possibly hearing you on a future episode of the Komets Podkast with play-by-play guy (who took over after Bob Chase's passing) Shane Albahrani.

[@chuckcollins4715]

I really appreciate this particular podcast. It brings up a lot of concerns about the FPHL that I have as a fan. Changing ANY rule at any point during a season is unacceptable. Coaches and teams base almost every decision upon these rules. If we are going to have a Big-Hits-Lots-of-Fights league (which is what I like) ,I need to recruit some brawlers and only a few skater/scorers. The opposite is also true if I am in a very low-physicality league. I would not pay to watch hockey that punishes hitters. That being said, I can clear up some of the mystery as to why Amesbury got suspended. He lands way too many just plain dirty hits and I've seen him attack people from behind. He needed to take some of the edge off. I would not have him not play with intensity, just take a little off.

[@freshstart349]

My brother, God blessed you! The Universe speaks!

[@alexandermilentis2130]

Funny you mentioned Bruce Boudreau because he played for and then coached the Komets back in the day. Then his son coached the Komets a few years back

[@bxg5]

Komets fans are gonna love this guy

[@ArchieCrypto]

I recently saw Amesbury in our league playing for the Vail Yeti’s and fighting number 14 from Breckinridge who I laid out in our first game against them and apologized because I felt bad. It was the first contact game I’ve played in 15 years lol. It was cool to see Amesbury playing in our league.

[@TGsports_Free2watch]

Every great fighter has been banned from at least one league 😂

[@bdschaaf]

Hey AJ, will you be at Ames debut in Cincinnati? I am taking my son tonight to watch the game tonight. So excited to watch Ames contribute.

[@TheCapixClan]

AJ, remember the Rockford Icehogs with Bruce Watson & Robin Big Snake in the UHL? My family had season tickets when I was a kid for the icehogs. Man I miss the UHL 👊🏻

[@charlesbabcock1530]

UHauL league was awesome. Went to a lot of Missouri Riverotters games...

[@dbtrashers]

Tried to trade for Big Snake in the '05-'06 season LOL - what a great team they had -- chaz johnson too was great all around player!

[@TheCapixClan]

@@dbtrashers hell yeah!!! The nostalgia your podcast brings is unreal. CJ & a few of the other boys had holiday dinners with my family as a kid each year. He used to come to my games & coach me. Chaz was like a big brother & I’ll never forget him.

[@devinsullivan1775]

I remember when Watson spit on the fans and got in big trouble

[@rzl07375]

I was a season ticket holder in Flint for years, man I miss those days, so many tough guys and good hockey . Long live the Colonial/United Hockey League.

[@TheModNetworkTV]

My guys ALWAYS with the fire podcasts. Also glad other leagues were smart and tried to swoop Amesbury with the quickness, congrats of becoming a Komet!!!

[@itsthefool9454]

The ECHL is gonna love you man. Now I’m ready to see bro go head to head with Devine February 7th though. 👀

[@RP1501]

That’s a fight I would love to see

[@johnmink1078]

Damn. Players like Amesbury are the reason I love the sport. Guess I'll be watching Komets games not Hat Tricks games 🤷‍♂️

[@thomas7919]

The most important aspect of this situation is it appears to be personal , not based on the merit of it. AJ mentioned it early in the pod cast, forget who it involves and look at what they did. Bad for hockey and bad for sports!

[@dandocker4213]

hope can watch you as I've just seen u game on KZbin from UK an ur a real player 👏

[@travishuss9908]

My excitement is off the charts to watch this guy in fort wayne. As a STH in fort wayne Daniel might be my next jersey pickup! Goodluck buddy!

[@drumdude40]

I love you Ames and i dont undersand this i wish you the best of luck in the echo

[@seanmolloy4636]

The Statment " Came after discussions from our Board of Governors " shows you that your team Dansbury DID in fact know about this. The Board of Governors has 1 representative from each team so clearly Dansbury had someone in the discussion room that knew what was going to happen.

[@slimmdogg420]

I feel like you should try to get Yianni Liarakos on. I think all the fans really want to know more about his indefinite suspension. This might be the only place where the real story could be told.

[@christophercook5418]

Check out big apple pizza, downtown Fort Wayne. NY style, so if that's your thing great. Italian is casa - great place, one in southwest Fort Wayne on Jefferson Blvd is the best one. Best of luck!

[@kylecam22]

I suggest you start taking some accountability. Your reckless hit caused a guy to have a seizure on the ice. I'm not saying how the FPHL handled it was right. That's a totally separate issue. But the bottom line is, your actions have consequences. Be a man, own up to it, and move on.

[@dbtrashers]

You are right - this isn't a fault of the victim of the injury - Ames addressed that in an earlier episode - that being said , if 'player safety' was top priority in this league, what we found out about the unfortunate victim of the hit, the player should not of even been on the ice .. we respect and appreciate your opinion

[@ianbickCT]

Danbury Hattricks organization dropped the ball on this one. Should have defended and fought for Ames. Shame on them

Shook Daniel's hand at the Coliseum a week or two back. Super nice guy. Can't wait to see him play. #letsgokomets

[@angusmacgibbon6553]

Amesbury has been running around like an idiot for years now, he’s not a skilled hockey player. He’s literally out there to hurt. Amesbury is hitting guys 6 whole seconds late, hitting from behind. He’s ego has gotten to big and he deserves the suspension. He will get exposed big time in the east coast league.

[@thomas7919]

Im calling B.S on 6 seconds late. Watch a hockey game on tv and count out loud 6 secs, a player can get down the entire ice in 6 seconds if skating full speed

[@angusmacgibbon6553]

@@thomas7919 buddy watch the hit and count. It is fucking absurd.

[@thomas7919]

Ok I rewatched it… 1.5 seconds after the player shot the puck and about 3 strides by Amesbury leading up to the hit… now I do feel it was a Roughing penalty, because it served no purpose and at the time of impact the puck was already in the net & due to it causing an injury , I’m ok with a 5 min major and a 10 min misconduct , or even a game misconduct, but a 16 or 18 game suspension ? I think that’s extreme, Never mind suspended indefinitely. I do hope that player is ok and feel bad he sustained a seizure.

[@acerock013]

Episode 13 better be Sergei Nemchinov! it is wild to me that a player gets banned or suspended without any kind of hearing or notice and the player gets informed via press release. That is wholly unprofessional and reflects poorly on the Federal League and opens them up to liability. Hockey is changing and growing. The game is way different than when I was a kid. At the NHL level there is no room for enforcer types anymore for a variety of reasons, some good and some legitimate. But what makes things a problem is that without someone on each team that holds the other side accountable, it is incumbent upon the officials to hammer guys who take cheapshots, head hunting or slewfooting or boarding otherwise games descend into a mess. Then that leads to guys having to fight after a clean hit because that enforcer role is a being phased out of the game. I'd argue that enforcers actually make game safer because you know that if you take liberties, it's not the penalty box you have to worry about. You're going to have to worry about the next shift you and having to answer the bell for trying to injure a player on the other team. All that goes to say is that it makes guys like Amesbury stick out more and actually get victimized by playing their game and filling a much needed role in the game.

[@dbtrashers]

💪💪💪

[@thomas7919]

Me personally, i cant stomach when a player goes after an opponent after making a clean hit! Contact is part of hockey and always should be. Why fight after a clean hit?, how about return the favor when that opportunity presents itself later in the game.

[@JacobErne44]

[@oldman9161]

day of the goon is over and should be over today's players are far too fast and strong to be doing late blind side hospital hits late hits on players not suspecting hits like that the way hockey does this is getting players that do this out of the leagues. BTW players know when they have a players in a vulnerable position IE head turned the other way or along the wall... RIP goons.....

Indefinitely, does not mean permanently. You could still go back keep that in mind Ames. You’re just not going back this season.

Honestly it's kind of messed up to suspend him indefinitely for that.

Surely the league can be sued for taking away his livelihood. Banning for 16 games is ok but indefinite ban after them 16 games is kinda like charging someone twice for the same murder...
