Daniel Zaar’s Four-Game Suspension Becomes Six After Disciplinary Committee Error

Daniel Zaar’s four-game suspension became six because of a mistake by the Ice Hockey Association’s disciplinary committee.

Daniel Zaar received a match penalty against Örebro before the international break and was subsequently suspended by the disciplinary committee from November 1 to November 21. The suspension was deemed equivalent to four matches.

The problem?

Rögle plays six matches during that period.

The entire disciplinary committee has completely misunderstood the situation. They have forgotten that we play in the CHL, Rögle coach Dan Tangnes tells HD.

The chairman of the disciplinary committee, Johan Nordin, tells HD that they were not aware Rögle would play two CHL matches during the suspension.

If we had had that information, we would have taken it into account when assessing the length of the suspension. This means that in practice, he will be suspended for more matches than originally intended.
