Following last weekend’s action, the England Ice Hockey Department of Player Safety (DOPS) have issued the following sanctions:

• Louis Allen (Solihull Barons) | 2 game suspension – Illegal check to the head
  • Additional comments: Player was in a vulnerable position and unaware of the hit, causing reckless endangerment.
• Darren Stattersfield (Billingham Stars) | 2 game suspension – Fighting
  • Additional comments: Player was the aggressor, with multiple punches thrown at an unwilling combatant.
• Alan Lack (Streatham Redhawks) | 1 game suspension – Fighting
  • Additional comments: Player delivered a single, unprovoked blow to the face area of the opponent, who was in a vulnerable position and unable to defend himself. This one-game suspension has already been served on 15/03/26, meaning Lack is free to play in the next Streatham Redhawks fixture.
• Joshua Hustwick (Telford Tigers 2) | 4 game suspension after DRS review – Illegal check to the head
  • Additional comments: Player delivered a two-handed cross-check to a stationary opponent behind the net. Hands were high, with follow-through, and the head/neck area was first point of contact, recklessly endangering his opponent.
• Damarni James (Deeside Dragons) | 4 game suspension – 3 games for fighting after DRS review and 1 game for exceeding 10 penalty points
  • Additional comments: Fighting an unwilling combatant. Player was the aggressor, removing his gloves before throwing multiple punches.
• Hannah Ware (Solihull Vixens) | 3 game suspension – Checking from behind
  • Additional comments: Player made a check from behind which recklessly endangered the opposing player, who was in a vulnerable position and not aware or expecting the impending hit, with it being a women’s non-checking game. Three-game suspension issued – two games to be served and one game suspended.
• Joe Silvester (Solent Junior Devils) | 2 game suspension – Misconduct penalty
  • Additional comments: Repeated foul and abusive language towards officials.
• Charlie Wedge (Solent Junior Devils) | 2 game suspension – Spearing
  • Additional comments: Player lifted his stick to spear opponent in the groin.
• Jordan Liddell (Peterborough Phantoms NIHL 2) | 3 game suspension – Kicking
