4 is about right for me. Although just to keep the conspiracy going, interesting that DOPS managed to convene overnight to ban the two Giants boys for today's second game, normally bans appear in the week following... I think you should check out www.starsstats.co.uk/dops to see who gains/loses most from suspensions. This is before the weekends bans as well. Some of the bans have got quite ludicrous actually and if it carries on will kill the game here. Someone joked that throwing a glove in the air might be dangerous for any passing flies and bring a ban. It has done! I wish Panthers got a few more bans. At least we'd be showing some fight and trying to mix it up a bit. We haven't had a dirty adgitator since Ling (To me still the biggest thing he brought to the team). I don't want to see outright dirty hits and head shots, just somebody prepared to push the boundaries a little. As somebody else said. One day the powers that be will realise how much trying to take fighting out of the game is causing these dangerous, nasty cheap shots.

That'll be the end of him then.
Although it can't be condoned, that fan in the #7 jersey probably deserved a slap. I understand a different fan took the brunt of it though, Nickerson can't even get that right.
Should fans be able to get that close to the players in that situation?

I’m not condoning what Nickerson did but if you’re in proximity of a person like that, trying to goad them, then there are going to be consequences.

Hockey players aren’t the sharpest tools in the shed but Nickerson is pretty much game over after that. Inexcusable.

How come MK play an import short for 6 only games of Nickersons ban,but can then dress another import for the remaining 14 games of it ?

Presumably the 14 games is to make it the end of the line for Nickerson more than anything.
I think we've seen similar before anyway, didn't Stingrays have the same happen when Campbell got a million and one games from Moray? There's no value to be had nobbling one of the smaller teams for the rest of the season IMO.

Coincidence that there are about 17 league games plus play off games etc so takes him to the end of the season. Also the 14 was off ice and personal bans rather than a team ban.Just a thought.

I'm surprised MK didn't get done for "failing to control" their player,therefore I don't see why the 14 games don't still stand to play short. Not that it will make any difference in MK's current position,but it would if it was a top four team and your setting a future precedent here.

It'd make no sense to punish a big team for a 3rd of the season either, it just makes even less sense with a club trying to find their feet in the league.
Bans should be a player's problem anyway, football teams don't have to trot out a substitute short.

What would you do with say Braehaed or Coventry ? 😳 Lol

Video of the Nickerson incident seems to have been deleted. I’m guessing because he’s appealing the length of it in particular due to the bit that says it was premeditated by him switching his stick from right to left hand. Pity as the wife hasn’t seen it yet.

Said it years ago after the first crowd incident. You’ve got to have a tunnel separating players and supporters at non league football. Crazy that they don’t have them in the premier hockey league in this country. Oh well another players career over in this country. Brush it under the carpet don’t bother solving it. When does the supporter get out of hospital?

Whilst he clearly shouldn't be hitting a fan, the fan shouldn't be anywhere near to be hit in the first place. You are coming off the ice already ticking and you have to deal with some ........(fill in with whichever word you like) in your face.

Don’t think Nickerson makes contact and there is nothing wrong with the fan, if he hit him he’d be hurt. They probably pulled it because the league will be in trouble for not safe guarding fans and players. Still on bbc website though. Maybe they should spend the play off money on some tunnels and a rule book.
