Canucks looking for fan who threw a hot dog at Phil Kessel.

The Vancouver Canucks are reportedly on the lookout for an unruly fan that crossed the line during a recent game at Rogers Arena.

This past Thursday the Canucks welcomed the Arizona Coyotes to their home arena and it was during the course of that game that Coyotes forward Phil Kessel was harassed by a fan in the crowd. Now taunting and verbal jabs are one thing and perhaps even expected when you are a professional athlete, but when you start assaulting them it becomes another matter entirely.

This fan for some reason thought that it was the funniest thing in the world that Kessel was associated with the eating of hot dogs, something that stems back to a now infamous article written by controversial Toronto journalist Steve Simmons in which he claimed Kessel would eat the fast food treat on a near daily basis. The fan would, repeatedly, taunt Kessel about hot dogs throughout the game, over and over again as if like a broken record.

Eventually though simply taunting Kessel about his hot dog eating ways wasn't enough and the fan decided to instead head over to the concessions and buy himself a hot dog to add to his little joke. The fan would return to his seat where he would also return to taunting Kessel, now with an actual hot dog in hand, but this is also where things turned bad for the fan in question.

At one point he crossed the line and decided that it would be a good idea to throw the hot dog over the glass in an attempt to strike the veteran Coyotes forward with the object. It isn't clear if he hit the target or not, but nonetheless the fact that he did it alone is enough for the Vancouver Canucks to want to seek to ban this individual from Rogers Arena and perhaps even press charges against him for his actions.

"What he did was completely disrespectful and not welcome at Rogers Arena," said a Canucks spokesperson via email as per Daily Hive. "We won’t stand for it and are in the process of identifying this guy and determining what our next steps will be."

Unfortunately for this fan he won't have much of a defense to offer up either, he recorded himself doing the entire thing. You can see a video of those recordings below:
