DALLAS (AP) \u2014 The Dallas Stars<\/a> have banned a person from attending games at American Airlines Center after they bought tickets for a group of spectators seen celebrating a goal with a Nazi salute<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny type of discriminatory or hateful behavior will not be tolerated and has no place in our arena,\u201d the team said Monday in a statement. \u201cCreating and sustaining environments that are inclusive, safe and respectful is a non-negotiable for the Dallas Stars.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stars fan Courtney Ripley told WFAA-TV in Dallas<\/a> that she took a 12-second video at a game against Toronto in late December. It showed four fans reacting to a goal by appearing to raise and extend their right arms with a straightened right hand facing downward.<\/p>\n

The team conducted an investigation that identified the individual who bought the tickets, who was informed of the indefinite ban.<\/p>\n

\u201cAdditionally, we are increasing in-arena messaging regarding the Fan Code of Conduct and how our fans can report violations, along with prioritizing staff training to identify and handle situations that arise,\u201d the team said.<\/p>\n

Fan codes of conduct are prominent throughout the NHL<\/a>. Every team has a scripted segment that is shared on their video boards, through their public address system or both, telling fans about their respective codes of conduct.<\/p>\n

The NHL also has a multipoint fan code of conduct that opens by stating, \u201cThe best hockey experiences happen in environments that are inclusive, safe and respectful.\u201d<\/p>\n
