Wow. Did anyone see it?
Are they hitting Emmerson hard for the shot (it only got 2 mins) or Caps for "losing" the footage?

I'm reading that as because they "lost" the footage.

Chris Ellis has just tweeted this in response questions being asked
@chrisellyellis: It sends a message about footage of games. Maybe there was a geninue error, or maybe it got 'lost' - it is not for me to say But if no ban had been handed out, teams may think a good option would be to take a £1,000 fine and have 'missing video' rather than the prospect of a player facing a long ban.
...…
sounds like the ban was for the tape being lost

It's not the players fault footage couldn't be provided. Why should it go on his record?
I know there's a problem with hitting less well off clubs with big fines but if the player challenged it not sure it would stick.

So an appeal would go down well. Edinburgh " So can you show us the evidence that it was such an illegal hit to warrant a 10 game ban?" Elite league "Err.....We don't have any" If this is the standard they are going on this season Braehead are going to be in huge trouble  |

Does anyone know who are the people involved in the Department of Player Safety. Could be that I have missed this.

To be fair, the Elite league cannot show any evidence, because Edinburgh have not supplied any.
Hand on heart this seems a very harsh punishment, I can see why it has been handed out though. Hopefully some footage will be found and the appropriate ban handed out.

if anyone had read the article it says if caps find the footage, the league will review the ban again. they state ten games for causing. a concussion and the fine for no video Where does it say in the PR that ban is for causing a concussion? BAN FOR EMMERSON September 12, 2014 The Department of Player Safety has handed Edinburgh Capitals #26 Riley Emmerson a 10-match ban and fined the club £1,000. During the home game against Belfast Giants on Sunday 7th September 2014, Emmerson was assessed a two-minute minor penalty for boarding at 1:04 in the first period. The Department of Player Safety has automatically reviewed this incident because of the injury sustained by Belfast #62 Kevin Phillips as a result of this play. Although much of the matchnight footage was available, Edinburgh were unable to provide footage of the opening minutes of the game and therefore the incident was missing from the gametape. The Elite League requirement is for clubs to provide footage of the whole game to assist any potential review process. With this in mind, the Department of Player Safety has come to the following conclusions... • There was a penalty on the play, therefore the play has been deemed illegal • Belfast #62 Kevin Phillips took no further part in the game • Belfast #62 Kevin Phillips has been diagnosed with concussion The Department of Player Safety has increased the original penalty called on the night to a match penalty for boarding. Edinburgh have been fined £1,000 for failure to supply the matchnight footage required and, as a result, Emmerson will be banned for 10 matches. If the matchnight footage or any Elite League-approved information can be supplied, the Department of Player Safety will take this into consideration and further review this incident. |

It says as a result of lack of footage he gets 10 games (which I take to be the max). If footage is found this can be reviewed. Don't slip getting off your high horse. Still not sure how 2 mins becomes match without evidence. Unless ref changed his mind in report. |

Hopefully some footage will be found and the appropriate ban handed out. So with the same lack of evidence, bearing in mind that the referee saw the video evidence right after the game and never upgraded it. How does a 2 min penalty go to a 10 match ban? The league gave a Match penalty as a result of the injury not the hit as they have not seen the hit What gets me from reading various reports is that the referee never saw the hit either and had to get advice from his linesman. I always thought that once that was done any penalty automatically became a major |

Total joke 10 game player ban for the club failing to produce the tape for a 2 min infraction in which the player concerned iced in his teams next game!
