On October 26th, in Klagenfurt, an incident occurred involving Vienna player #9 Ali Wukovits which is deemed Kneeing. With the puck being chipped up the wall by a KAC player, a second KAC player is focused on gaining possession of the puck. While working to gain puck possession, the skating lane of the opponent involved a right turning pattern. At approximately the same time as the opponent began his right turn pattern, Ali Wukovits also changed his skating lane to his left, which created a head on approach to make contact. Ali Wukovits, in his left turning pattern, extended his left knee. While his left knee is extended, Ali Wukovits attempted to make a body check. In missing the opponents body, a knee to knee contact occurred. Ali Wukovits, in attempting to make a body check, holds the responsibility to make the body to body contact and avoid the knee to knee contact. It was noted that the opponent did return to play. However, knee to knee contact which involves 2 players traveling in opposite directions, does run a high risk of injury. Injury is not the determining factor. The knee to knee contact was the determining factor.
