Would love to see the leagues safe guarding policy and documents.
It’s happened 3-4 times and they’ve done nothing.

To be honest I thought the 20 games was very harsh!
The 6 for the bit on the ice seemed like much ado about very little - yes he left the bench, but it was the end of the game, and he didn't even fight anyone - in fact, kept his gloves on the whole time. It's not like he's completely lost it and started beating down on people. Put it this way - that part of this incident and Fretter got the same ban...
Then for the 14 games for punching the fan, yes he was obviously very wrong, but the DOPS explanation doesn't tally with the video they're supposedly describing at all. Like him moving his stick from one hand to the other apparently to get his fist free to punch the fan. At that point I don't think he's even seen the fan, let alone heard him, and I'm pretty sure he changes hands to open the door, as every player always does as they leave the ice.

Exactly, any right handed person would swap any object they were holding to their left in order to go through a door. If it was a premeditated move he would have slugged the guy with a solid left hook not a scuffed right with the back of the hand. |

Couldn't agree with you more, there was no way that was premeditated in any way.. Secondly how is a fan allowed to get that close to a player!!! |

Looking at the video I can't help but think the fan deserves it.

The fan has obviously said something to him as to me it definitely looks delierbate from Nickerson even after watching it numerous times. |
