National League suspension of Daniel Carr

Overview

Following a multi-player altercation during a match, the National League suspended HC Ajoie forward Daniel Carr for five games and issued a fine of 7,600 Swiss francs. The penalty was imposed after Carr struck EHC Biel-Bienne captain Gaëtan Haas in the face while Haas was without a helmet. The incident resulted in Haas sustaining a concussion and being sidelined indefinitely.

Carr expressed regret for the action but argued that the strike should not be viewed in isolation from the broader fight, suggesting a shorter suspension would have been more appropriate. In response to the initial ruling, EHC Biel filed an appeal with the sports court to increase the suspension from five games to ten, arguing the incident falls into the most severe judicial category for intentional or grossly negligent offenses.
