Rule 46 - Fighting @ 52:24
The penalty assessed at 52.24, a 5 Minute major for fighting- IHUK Rule 46 “Equal and Willing Combatants” is insufficient for the actions undertaken.
Fighting, whilst tolerated during game play involves equal and willing combatants or a variation of this covered under the rules, it does not cover a player picking up and “body Slamming” another to the ice, this causes Reckless endangerment.
The Penalty is upgraded under Rule 46 Fighting to a 5 + Game Misconduct.
The player receives 5 penalty points on their record and as a tier 1 tariff offence the Player is suspended for 2 games.
Total Games suspended is 2 games.
