Abbotsford led 2-0 in the semifinals, when the noticeable noise seemed to briefly distract people. The broadcaster revealed that the noise was the result of fans throwing chairs, which eventually put him in trouble.
Astel said: “Let me get me from behind. Get out of here! What is he doing? Safe! Try again,” Astel said.

The broadcaster added: “I was fired. He threw my chair at me and hit me behind the legs. Like, what is he doing here? Unreal. There is another beer.

After the game, Astle landed on his social media platform to apologize for handling the situation.
He wrote on X: “I could have handled this better, but you can see that the shock and fired because it never happened to me…I know a Yahoo didn’t reflect the Eagles organization or their fans, obviously being found and kicked out.”
