Video review: clarification

Two situations were incorrectly reviewed during Week 5

The Elite League wishes to clarify two video review situations from Week 5's games:

High-Stick
At 45:15 of the third period during game CC31 between Glasgow Clan and Belfast Giants on Saturday 12 October 2024, the game officials used the video review system to review a potential high stick before the Clan's second goal.

For clarity, this constitutes as a ‘Missed Game Stoppage’ and is not a reviewable play in the EIHL. High-Sticking the puck may only be reviewed when the puck has directly entered the net as a result of a High-Stick. This review should not have been initiated by the game officials. 

The call on the ice was goal, as was the call after review.

Goaltender Interference
At 15:20 of the first period during game CC34 between Belfast Giants and Glasgow Clan on Sunday 13 October 2024, the game officials washed out a goal for the Giants for Goaltender Interference. The officials then opted to review this play and confirmed their on-ice decision.

For clarity, Goaltender Interference may only be reviewed as part of a Coach’s Challenge. This review should not have been initiated by the game officials.
