Niigata forward Rodney Webb, who made his bj-league debut in 2007, was handed the biggest suspension in league history on Tuesday night.
The 30-year-old Florida Atlantic product has been suspended for the final 12 games of the regular season and the postseason plus a $1,000 fine after kicking Akita center Chas McFarland, who was on the floor, in the head with 6:39 left in the first quarter of Saturday's series opener in Akita.
Webb was also automatically handed a one-game ban for Sunday's series finale before the league's disciplinary committee decided on the aforementioned punishment.
