The incident occurred during a match against the Charlotte Checkers and was captured on video, showing Beckman colliding with the unsuspecting referee. Following the altercation, Beckman appeared to try to apologize by extending his hand. The referee managed to recover and continue officiating the game. Beckman&#8217;s suspension was enforced under AHL Rule 40.3 for physical abuse of an official, which will keep him out for the final games of the current season and the next five games thereafter. Prior to this incident, Beckman had been traded to the Islanders from the New Jersey Devils and had a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">strong performance record<\/a> in the AHL.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/woke-springs-infernal\/\" title=\"Woke Springs Infernal\">hockey player<\/a> has been suspended after shoving a referee while on the ice, sending the official sliding into a wall.<\/p>\n<p>The push by Bridgeport Islanders forward Adam Beckman was committed during a game against the Charlotte Checkers on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>The incident was captured on video, showing the events unfold from a distance.<\/p>\n<p>Beckman can be seen skating towards the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/video-investigation-underway-bizarre-referee-ruling-technical-issue-flip-outcome-boxing-title-fight\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ref<\/a>, apparently failing to notice the black-and-white clad arbiter.<\/p>\n<p>As they met, Beckman gave a violent shove that sent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/ap-nhl-referee-mitch-dunning-taken-off-ice-stretcher-violent-collision\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the official<\/a> careening to the ice and sliding to a hard stop on a rink wall.
