Canucks Rypien is Getting Sued

Posted on October 26, 2010 by Chris Fusco

Vancouver Canucks forward Ryan Rypien got a 6 game suspension for attacking a fan during a game. But his troubles are far from over.

The fan who was attacked, 28-year-old James Engquist, told the Minneapolis Star Tribune that he is planning taking legal action against Rypien. That's what happens to a professional athlete who does a stupid thing.

"Crossing the white line" by a player can make an athlete subject to a lawsuit. If the fan can actually prove damages, Rypein may be looking at the legal penalty box.
