Das detaillierte Urteil:
The penalty senate of bet-at-home ICE Hockey League has made an additional assessment to the automatic suspension of Braden Christoffer of HCI TIWAG Innsbruck. You can find the detailed verdict here.
The player Braden Christoffer (#63) of HC TIWAG Innsbruck – Die Haie is fined 2.500,00 Euros according to the bet-at-home ICE Hockey League Penalty Catalog Ref. Nr. 37 – Insulting or threatening the referee, in the bet-at-home ICE Hockey League game #149 EC Red Bull Salzburg vs. HC TIWAG Innsbruck – Die Haie on 30.12.2020.
Justification:
In the bet-at-home ICE Hockey League game #149 on 30.12.2020 a minor penalty for holding was assessed against Braden Christoffer (#63) of HC TIWAG Innsbruck – Die Haie at 59:18. Following the call by the official, Braden Christoffer (#63) raised his middle finger of his right hand directly at the referee, who had made the call.
By this action the player fulfilled the element of an offense according to the bet-at-home ICE Hockey League Penalty Catalog Ref. Nr. 37. The penalty range for this offense goes from 500,00 Euros to 10.000,00 Euros. It behoves in times of significant problems in sports to put extra emphasis on a positive image of the sport in the public. Therefore, an insult and an obscene gesture towards the game offical is unacceptable. Especially, since the on-ice decision is comprehensible. Taking all this into account the minimum fine amount was deemed not sufficient.
Aggrivating: see justification above
Mitigating: no circumstance
