“The news: The star is getting off,”
“Defending themselves: ”As a regular scrimmage””
“on Monday did Mattias Ritola, 31, long-awaited comeback.”
“Now he’s gone again.”
“The forwardsstjärna off – in the five matches.”
“– It feels hard, ” says Leksans general manager Thomas Johansson.”
“Ritola had not played any competitive match since the failed qualifying campaign against Mora in the spring. On Monday, against the Panther, he made his comeback.”
“Then he was directly involved in two situations: First, high stick and then a tackle to the head.”
“the Judges on the ice missed the offences, but now informs the Board that they reviewed them.”
“”As in a normal scrimmage””
“And decided to dish out a five matches long suspension.”
“, ”When it comes to my high club so my intention is to lift the opponent’s stick from underneath to give my players more space. Unfortunately, so ends up my stick above his stick instead of under and hits the Panther player. Regarding the second complaint so I would like to react on the crosschecking that their players give my fellow players. I and Panterspelaren go in against each other, and I throw up my gloves as in a normal scrimmage against him and hits then with my right glove up against his neck,” said Ritola in a statement.”
“Leksand BY Thomas Johansson about the shutdown:”
“– Hard. Really don’t know how many high sticks that given the shutdown so far?”
“in Addition to the shutdown goes Ritola also miss out on 43 125 kronor in lost salary.”
“So writes the DN in its statement of reasons.”
“”At sentencing has the board specifically considered the following key elements:”
“1) Recklessly and intemperately action the situation through.”
“2) Break in as a third man in connection with the checking to the head.””
