That is an incredibly harsh punishment, and as bad as what he did was and as damning as the mother's reaction is (which I view as essentially a victim impact statement), it doesn't fit the crime in my opinion. Internet mob justice never seems to.

While that's not my stance, one way I can look at that is by him not making the NHL that just means some other kid, one who hopefully didn't force-feed a piss candy to some disabled minority, does make their dream. There's only a limited amount of spots on NHL rosters, if he's in the NHL some non-racist kid isn't.
But he's also an undersized 4th round pick (with maybe a 2nd round talent) so the odds of him making it anyways are going to be slim regardless of his past.
