Hockey star Sean Avery, suspended by the NHL for making an offensive statement apparently referring to ex-girlfriend Elisha Cuthbert, apologized Wednesday.
"I should not have made those comments and I recognize that they were inappropriate," he says in a statement to PEOPLE. "It was a bad attempt to build excitement for the game, but I am now acutely aware of how hurtful my actions were."
The hockey league's commissioner summoned Avery, 28, who plays for the Dallas Stars, for a hearing Thursday on his indefinite suspension for making what the commissioner called "inappropriate public comments, not pertaining to the game."

NHL bad-boy-turned-fashion-intern Sean Avery says he hopes Vogue editor Anna Wintour will be asking him back next summer now that he's "made it out alive" from his last couple months at the magazine.
"I learned a ton," the New York Rangers left wing, 28, told PEOPLE Tuesday night at the Whitney Contemporaries Art Party presented by BCBG Max Azria. "I was surrounded by some of the greatest minds in American fashion and in the world."
Self-confessed clotheshorse Avery, whose on-ice antics have inspired an official NHL rule named after him, fulfilled a lifelong dream when he started at the fashion mag only a week after he was hospitalized for a lacerated spleen during a game in May.

New York Rangers hockey star Sean Avery was released from the hospital Sunday after lacerating his spleen during a game Tuesday night, his rep tells PEOPLE.
"He still needs a lot of rest," his rep says, "and will be going for checkups with his doctors over the next few days."
But bedrest isn't the only thing on his agenda: Avery is keeping his prior commitment to attend one of New York City's most exclusive social engagements of the year: Monday night's Metropolitan Museum Costume Institute Gala. Avery, who is set to begin an editorial internship with Vogue in a week, will be attending the gala as a guest of the magazine, donning an Alexander McQueen suit.
Avery's injury has sidelined him for the remainder of the hockey season.

Hockey star Sean Avery remains in intensive care Thursday after lacerating his spleen during an Eastern Conference Semifinal against the Pittsburgh Penguins Tuesday night.
"Sean has undergone procedures to stop his internal bleeding, and is awaiting results from his doctors today," the New York Rangers star's publicist, Nicole Chabot, tells PEOPLE. "Doctors expect he'll make a full recovery, but will be keeping him in the hospital for a week."
Contrary to reports that claimed Avery was found unconscious and rushed to the hospital, his rep says his life was never in danger. Avery was taken to New York's St. Vincent's hospital directly from Madison Square Garden with a team doctor.
