Das Original-Urteil zur Sperre von Jean Philippe Lamoureux
Jean Philippe Lamoureux of EC idM Wärmepumpen VSV was suspended for two games for an incident in Sunday’s quarter final game against EC-KAC, deemed as „Physical Abuse“. Lamoureux is therefore suspended for game four and game five of the quarter final series.

Jean Philippe Lamoureux (#1) of EC iDM Wärmepumpen VSV, time 59:29 was involved in an incident deemed as Physical Abuse of Officials (IIHF Rule 40). The video evidence was sent to the win2day ICE Hockey League PSC, which determined the incident to be worthy of supplementary discipline. Sunday night in Villach, Villach goaltender #1 Jean Philippe Lamoureux was involved in an incident deemed as physical abuse against an on-ice official.

As the video shows, immediately following a goal, Lamoureux willingly gained possession of the puck and shot the puck in a forceful manner in the direction of a game official. Lamoureux was assessed a game misconduct at the stoppage under the IIHF Rulebook (Rule 40.4) which states: „…shooting the puck at or in the general direction of an official, …“

This is physical abuse of officials. It is important to note that at a stoppage, the puck is not to be shot in any manner, regardless if its an emotional outburst, protest of a game official decision or any form of forcefully shooting the puck at or in the direction of a game official or opponent. Specifically with this incident, it has been determined that Lamoureux did shoot the puck in the general direction of an official, in a manner that is considered forceful and demeaning. The intent or not of hitting a game official with the puck is a factor that is indeterminate. What is considered conclusive, beyond the fact that the puck should not be shot in a forceful manner at a stoppage at anytime, is the puck was shot in the general direction of a game official. Furthermore, Lamoureux was aware of the game official, followed the direction of the game official skating direction after shooting the puck and if it was considered ’no intent‘ as Lamoureux stated, he certainly showed no sign of remorse at the time.

The ICE Hockey League Department of Player Safety has suspended Jean Philippe Lamoureux for 2 games and fined 400.00 euros. 1 game suspension for the current incident and 1 additional game as a repeat offender. In addition, for the duration of Jean Philippe Lamoureux’s suspension EC iDM

Wärmepumpen VSV also loses one (1) spot for non-domestic players on the game sheet.

To summarize:
1) Abuse of an official
2) Puck shot at stoppage in direction of a game official
3) Repeat offender
