National Hockey League disciplinarian Colin Campbell has handed Flyers forward Jesse Boulerice (http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/player_bio.asp?player_id=58) a 25-game suspension for cross-checking Vancouver Canucks centre Ryan Kesler (http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/player_bio.asp?player_id=3513) in the head Wednesday night.
It's the longest suspension handed out in NHL history for an on-ice incident. New York Islanders forward Chris Simon (http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/player_bio.asp?player_id=833) also got 25 games for his two-handed slash to the face of Ryan Hollweg (http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/player_bio.asp?player_id=2500) of the New York Rangers last season.
''This was more than a careless and reckless play - it was senseless,'' Campbell said in a release. ''This was a deliberate cross-check to the face where Jesse Boulerice (http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/player_bio.asp?player_id=58) broke the shaft of his stick on Ryan Kesler (http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/player_bio.asp?player_id=3513)'s jaw. Boulerice went out of his way to deliver the cross-check and we will not tolerate this kind of conduct.''
