The Disciplinary Prefect of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League has suspended Baie-Comeau Drakkar left-winger Carl Gelinas for five games.
Here is the rationale which led to the suspension:
-Gelinas was travelling at a high speed
-Gelinas hit his opponent's head with his forearm and his elbow
-Was Gelinas' first offence
-Gelinas was in vulnerable position
-Opponent was not injured on the play
The decision was rendered after reviewing the video of the incident, gathering the testimonies from the players and the organizations involved, reading the officials' report and consulting the independent committee in the matter of disciplinary sanctions.
