Suspensions
Guidelines
Recently, a Suspension Matrix Review Committee (SMRC) was formed to revisit the OBHF’s current suspension policy. The following is the updated policy effective May 15, 2022.
- Players receiving a single (1) game misconduct suspension, will be permitted to participate with other team(s) until they serve their suspension with the team the infraction took place.
- Players receiving a two (2) game misconduct suspension, will require the permission from the Head of Discipline to participate with other team(s) until they serve their suspension with the team the infraction took place.
- Players receiving a three or more (3+) game misconduct suspension – which includes, but not limited to the following: Discriminatory Gross, Match, Fight, Abuse of Official, will NOT be permitted to participate with other teams. The player MUST serve their suspension in its entirety with the team the infraction took place, before resuming play with any other team(s).
Note: Single Game Misconducts as the result of Verbal Abuse of an Official MAY result in forfeiting the right to play with another team(s) until the suspension is served.
The following 2 items have been reviewed by the SMRC, and have been approved by the OBHF Board of Directors.
- The wording “per season” with regards to Gross & Match Misconducts, as well as Fight, to be changed to “per calendar year“. This MAY also include Game Misconducts for Verbal Abuse of Official.
- The wording “life” to be changed to “5 calendar years with NO potential of appeal for 1 calendar year“
Any attempt to circumvent an OBHF issued suspension will result in an automatic doubling of the current suspension plus status review within the OBHF.
Any player wishing to appeal their suspension must fill out the appeal application form and follow the outline within the appeal process.
Any questions regarding appeals can be sent to our Technical Director Phil Willard phil@ontarioballhockeyfederation.ca.
Current
The individuals on this list will only be eligible to return to play once they have served their assigned suspension in the league the incident occured in. The number of games the player must serve has been provided for reference purposes.
Moving forward, Current Suspensions will remain posted on the OBHF wesbite for a period of 6 (six) months. Records are kept off-site, and will be accessed on a case by case scenario where players accumulate multiple suspensions during their respective playing career. Further suspension MAY result for repeat offenders.
