Where Sean Avery's Arrest Ranks Among His Worst Decisions as an NHL Player

Over the course of his nine years in the NHL, Sean Avery has made a name for himself by being a pest. In fact, he's one of the most hated players in the league for his on-ice antics.

At the beginning of the summer, it looked like Avery might be changing his reputation. In May, a PSA was released where Avery announced his support of same-sex marriage, as part of the "New Yorkers for Marriage Equality Campaign."

However, news about Avery this week has taken him a few steps back.

First, former teammate on the Los Angeles Kings and New York Rangers Alexander Frolov allegedly told a Russian reporter that Avery would call opponents "black monkeys" on the ice.

If that news wasn't bad enough, Avery was arrested earlier this morning for allegedly shoving a police officer who responded to noise complaints coming from Avery's Hollywood home.

In light of this week's Avery news, we decided to rank his worst decisions as an NHL player.
