Elisha Cuthbert's ex Sean Avery has apologised for a sexual slur he made about the 24 star to her new boyfriend.
The ice hockey player's offensive remarks to Calgary Flames's Dion Phaneuf in a pre-game interview resulted in an indefinite NHL suspension.
Avery, who plays for the Dallas Stars, reportedly said: "I just want to comment on how it's become, like, a common thing in the NHL for guys to fall in love with my sloppy seconds. I don't know what that's about."
He has now apologised for the outburst, telling People in a statement: "I caused unnecessary embarrassment to my peers as well as people I have been close with in the past.
"As many of you know, I like to mix it up on and off the ice from time to time, but understand that this time I took it too far.
"I should not have made those comments and I recognise that they were inappropriate. It was a bad attempt to build excitement for the game, but I am now acutely aware of how hurtful my actions were."
