The Stars issued an apology after fans threw trash on the ice in the final seconds of the second period during Game 3 of the Western Conference Final against the Golden Knights on Tuesday.
Brad Alberts, the CEO and president of the Stars, released a statement Wednesday, publicly apologizing to Las Vegas and the NHL for the “unacceptable” behavior from a few fans inside American Airlines Arena during the contest.
“Their actions were unacceptable and put the safety of the players and fans at risk,” Alberts wrote in the statement. “We take pride in providing the best experience for everyone who enters our arena. The actions of these individuals certainly do not reflect our great city, organization and loyal fan base.”
