Evan Paul was playing his second game in net for the North Vancouver Wolf Pack when a fight erupted in the third period of his team’s Jan. 25 game against the Richmond Sockeyes at Minoru Arena.
Video of the fight shows Richmond defenceman Eithan Grishin over top of Paul with his arms around the goaltender for close to 20 seconds. When Grishin lets go, Paul slumps to the ice.
Grishin, 19, was (previously) suspended 16 games for incidents earlier this season, according to the PJHL website.
On Nov. 16, he received a 13-game suspension — five games for harassment of an official, three games as supplemental discipline, two games after receiving a game misconduct for being the third man in a fight, and three games as supplemental discipline for being a repeat offender.
No they don’t. Refs can’t deal with intent, only result.
At the speed of hockey, there are a ton of actually accidental contacts that occur. I got hit two days ago in a no-hitting league, and both of us know it was a complete accident because neither of us could stop in time.
That’s exactly why I said refs can’t tell the difference between someone making an intentional bad hit and someone who just didn’t quite turn out out of the way in time because they didn’t notice early enough.
There should be no incidental contact in your example
As per the example the two of you were going too fast, that wouldn’t happen if the threat of being removed from the league over accidental contact existed
How big of a crowd are your no contact rec leagues getting?
If the players want to play hard why are they in a no contact league?
You just sound like an idiot
