Gregory Stewart
Belfast Giants forward Gregory Stewart has been banned for a total of nine matches by the Rapid Solicitors Elite League disciplinary committee.
Stewart was assessed a two-minute minor in Belfast's match at Cardiff Devils on Sunday 3rd February 2013. After a request for supplementary discipline by the Devils, and a subsequent review by the committee, this has been increased to a match penalty for checking to the head and carries a three-match ban.
The Devils requested supplementary discipline in another incident involving Stewart in the same game. After a review of the game DVD, a match penalty for kneeing has been assessed on Stewart and he will be banned for a further three matches.
With there being two serious match penalties during the game, Stewart has had an extra three matches added by the disciplinary committee to make a total of nine matches. The extra three matches can be appealed against.
Head of discipline, Simon Kirkham, said: "These two incidents in the game were worthy of match penalties and, after a review by the committee, we have decided to impose the minimum tariff for each incident.
"As both incidents are nasty and happen in the same game, we have decided to add an extra three matches to make a total of nine."
what 3 games for kneeing someone and yet this was only 3 games as well can someone explain why check it a 2 minutes 26
