In a game against Hartford at Chicago Stadium, normally mild-mannered center Tom Lysiak of the Chicago Black Hawks deliberately trips linesman Ron Foyt after being tossed several times by Foyt for “jumping the draw on face-offs.” Lysiak is immediately ejected by referee Dave Newell and receives a 20-game suspension by the NHL for physical abuse of an official. The hefty sentence will be upheld on appeal, and Lysiak will forfeit more than $500,000 in lost salary for his impetuous prank. The Blackhawks win the hockey game, 6-1, over the Whalers.
