Dallas Stars hockey player Sean Avery has been suspended indefinitely for referring to his ex, 24's Elisha Cuthbert, as "sloppy seconds."

Speaking to reporters Tuesday morning after a practice in Calgary, Avery made a public dig at Calgary Flames defenseman Dion Phaneuf, who is dating Cuthbert.

"I am really happy to be back in Calgary, I love Canada," he said. "I just want to comment on how it's become like a common thing in the NHL for guys to fall in love with my sloppy seconds. I don't know what that's about. Enjoy the game tonight."

After the National Hockey League suspended him for "inappropriate public comments," Avery -- who served as an intern at Vogue this past year -- now has to meet with Commissioner Gary Bettman, who will determine any additional penalty.

A hearing has yet to be scheduled.

"I completely support the league's decision to suspend Sean Avery," Stars owner Tom Hicks said in a statement. "Had the league not have suspended him, the Dallas Stars would have. This organization will not tolerate such behavior, especially from a member of our hockey team. We hold our team to a higher standard and will continue to do so."

Avery signed a four-year, $15.5 million deal with the Stars last summer. He previously played for the New York Rangers, Los Angeles Kings and Detroit Red Wings before that.

    What that hockey player said was TRUE, she is sloppy seconds,she is dating lots of hockey players guess she likes that hockey stick.. That must make sienna miller sloppy thousandth............................. Avery is a twat. He's also a good hockey player. It's an unfortunate combination. You can bet he's loving the attention.

    From a hockey fan, I think the biggest reason Sean Avery was suspended is because people in the NHL plain don't like him. As much as people want to think they're defending Elisha Cuthbert or women in general, I really think it's just more the NHL being tired of Avery's antics. Good riddance I say.

    It is called a time and a place for everything. During an interview, just for the heck of it, is not the place to make that comment. Especially when you're representing a major team. Dumb. Just shows how much losing her has been bothering him for him to get that jab in. In public no less.

    Damn you can't even vent and you get suspended?? He sounds like a major hater but still he didn't say any names, so now everyone makes an assumption and it causes a suspension.? WOW

    he should have gotten in trouble. he should not have let himself be baited by the press to say such unrespectful things about his ex. however i think indifiant suspension is quite overkill! he should not have lost his job over a statement about his ex. i know a lot of people given the chance they would say a whole lot worse. i hope she also gets her chance to say what she wants! love=2waystreet!

    The comment was uncalled for at the time it was made. It's obvious that he is jealous otherwise he wouldn't have said anything about it. And now look what he gets. lol Dumb move.
