Ottawa Senators winger Jason Bailey is suing his former team, the Anaheim Ducks for making anti-Semitic remarks towards him as well as decreasing his playing time while with the team.
Bailey, who is Jewish, was drafted in the third-round of the 2005 NHL Draft by Anaheim, but has never played a professional game with them, instead being regulated to three minor league affiliates of the Ducks.
In the lawsuit, which was filed by Bailey's attorneys in the Orange County Supreme Court, the 23-year-old claims the Bakersfield Condors repeatedly made anti-Semitic remarks and denied him ice time.
The Senators acquired Bailey in September 2009 in exchange for winger Shawn Weller. Bailey has yet to make his NHL debut and currently plays for Ottawa's affiliate team, the Binghamton Senators. In 17 games this season, Bailey has failed to score a point.
