Voris automatically suspended for instigating
Flyers goalie suspended
On Saturday night in Fife, Fife goaltender #36 Janis Voris was assessed a five-minute major penalty for Fighting and a minor plus game misconduct for Instigator.
As the clock expires at the end of the game, Fife forward #94 Kieran Craig collides with Giants goaltender #1 Jackson Whistle. As a scrum ensues between multiple Giants and Flyers, Whistle pushes Fife forward #5 Noah Delmas to the ice. After contact between Whistle and Delmas, Whistle then goes back into the scrum to confront Kieran Craig. Fife goaltender #36 Janis Voris skates over the centre red line with the purpose of starting an altercation with Whistle. This is Instigating.
As per the EIHL casebook:
Instigator/Aggressor in Final Five Minutes of Regulation Time (or Anytime in Overtime)
A player who is deemed to be the instigator/aggressor of an altercation in the final five (5) minutes of regulation time or at any time in overtime shall be suspended for one additional game, pending a review of the incident.
To Summarise:
- Instigator
Effective immediately Fife Flyers goaltender #36 Janis Voris is fined and suspended for one game.
