I assume most will have seen this but for anyone that hasn't, Colton Fretter from the steelers got a 1 game ban for this hit???
Shocking decision from DOPS they gave Rosehill 2 games for this one last weekend, Just defies any logic. Rosehill gets an extra game tacked on while the other hit doesn't?

That’s an absolute disgrace, that’s almost as bad as the Bertuzzi incident

Just a joke. Fretter should have got at least three games for this hit. Went for the head deliberately imo.

The Fretter incident is far worse than the Rosehill one as he went right through the numbers and at high speed. To rub salt in the wound as Fretter tries to dive on the Belfast player, who is on his back with his feet in the air from the hit,he is judged to have kicked Fretter. Giants should take this one to court!

bringing the game into disrepute, plain and simple, this is being tagged into leagues around the world, how stupid are DOPS? who in their right mind would join this league after seeing that?

Thats my biggest issue with this decision, the impact it has on the league across Europe and NA. players see this type of garbage and see it as a joke league (rightly or wrongly). Fretter's play is one of the worst hits I have seen for a long time the speed he hits the guy with along with the distance he travels to make the hit and the fact its a two hander to the back of the head which he followed up with the next assault as the guy is prone on the ice is just horrific. How DOPS can justify this is anyone guess.

Don't know if it shows what actually started it there is a Belfast player cross checks a steeler along the boards the ref doesn't call it so fretter seeks retribution not condoning it just saying if ref had called the first incident fretters wouldn't have happened

Seriously, if that guy broke his neck there what would the ban be?

Inconsistent as ever, what would Matt Nickerson have got for that in his first EIHL year at Fife .........6-10 games.

I'm pretty sure I remember a couple of seasons ago a player got a 2 game ban for chucking a water bottle on the ice. Fretter gets 1 game for that...

Definitely happened though, 2 game ban for throwing a water bottle so technically what they’re saying is throwing a water bottle is twice as severe as skating 40 feet at full speed, leaping through the air and two handing someone whose unaware in the back of the head, it’s unbelievable

Horrific incident and laughable punishment for it, what a muppet and what a bunch of muppets.
Surely that deserved a good five or six game ban? As others have said if Nickerson in a Fife jersey had done that it would have been at least 10.
