Kelsey Wilson Suspended Three Games for Match Penalty

[chilly666]

Nottingham Panthers forward Kelsey Wilson will be banned for three matches following a supplementary discipline review by the Rapid Solicitors Elite League disciplinary committee.

Wilson was assessed a 5+game penalty for slashing in the first period (15:34) of Thursday's game between Sheffield and Nottingham.

Following a request by the Steelers, the committee has reviewed the game DVD and the incident has been upgraded to a match penalty.

Head of discipline, Simon Kirkham, said: "This is a nasty slash by Wilson and the committee has decided to apply a match penalty.

"The minimum tariff for such an offence is three matches and cannot appealed against."

Wilson will miss Panthers' home game with Dundee Stars tomorrow (Saturday), followed by back-to-back clashes with Coventry Blaze the following weekend.

So the other team requested a review of an incident and then there's a suspension?! Seems kind of silly a committee can "upgrade" the penalty after the fact. Plus he can't appeal.... seems unfair all around.

Chump move by Wilson. He and Ferguson both know how to drop the mitts.
