Nemeth consulted with tournament officials regarding the response to the brawl, and was told to have the players go to the locker room and await further instructions. Nemeth was the only player to challenge the initial suspension handed out by the International Ice Hockey Federation to the players involved in the brawl. The suspensions were initially to last through the end of the 1987-88 season. It was Nemeth\'s hope to remain eligible to play for Team Canada at the 1988 Olympics, but, although the suspensions would later be reduced to six months, Nemeth would not make the team.\n', '

Nemeth was born in Calgary, Alberta. He played his junior hockey for the Lethbridge Broncos and Kamloops Blazers.\n', '
