We reported earlier this week that a KHL player was kicked out of a game after pushing a ref to the ground and kicking him in the head.

We now know that the player will receive a lifetime ban. The player has a history of violence, and this will be the second league he gets a lifetime ban from.

There will equally be a criminal investigation, as the referee was seriously injured.

Hopefully this violent player will never step foot on professional ice again.
