After the racist incident that occurred in the ECHL this weekend, players across the world have come out in support of South Carolina Stingrays defenseman Jordan Subban. The player that performed the racist taunt was Jacob Panetta, who was recently released by his ECHL team, the Jacksonville Icemen.

Washington Capitals forward Tom Wilson is the next player that has chipped in support of his friend in the ECHL.

«These racist actions have no place in our sport or community and I stand with my friend Jordan Subban and the South Carolina Stingrays,» Wilson posted on Twitter.

It is great to see the support coming in from fans and players across the globe, and hopefully this will be less of a problem in the future.

There are some who have tried to defend Panetta by saying his actions were no different than Wilson imitating The Hulk while in the penalty box in May of 2021. Clearly Wilson doesn't agree with that assessment.
