The Western Hockey League announced late this afternoon that the
19-year old Okotoks, Alberta product has been suspended indefinitely, pending
further review of Sunday night's incident involving Jordan McGillivray
of the Regina Pats at the Keystone Centre.
Webb recieved a third period match penalty during that game for
cross-checking the Pats forward in the face. The incident followed an earlier
altercation between the two players in which the Brandon defenceman was
the victim of an unpenalized head-butt from the Regina left-winger, who
left Mark Deralgo with a fractured vertabrae in his neck during a
pre-season game last September. That hit ended Derlago's 2004-05 season and
resulted in a 3-game suspension for the 19-year old Regina product.
In addition to suspending Webb, the league continues to review the
aftermath of Sunday's game, in which Regina Pats' general manager Brent
Parker blasted both the WHL and the Wheat Kings.
Parker, who was fined $1,000 two weeks ago for publicly criticizing the
league's officials, could be in line for more penalties.
"Obviously, there's certain comments that should be made internally
within the league," commissioner Ron Robison told the Regina Leader Post
on Monday. "Comments of any public nature are inappropriate at this
time."
The Pats and Wheat Kings are to meet three times next week - Wednesday
night at the MTS Centre in Winnipeg, Friday night at Brandon's Keystone
Centre and Sunday in Regina.
