It has already been reported that Ābol scored a goal in the extra time of the game on Saturday, helping the Orebro team to beat Vēkšė’s Lakers 4: 3.
In the ninth minute of the second period, Ābols hit the back of the opponents’ goal from behind with his elbow on Jack Drury’s back. Apple was not penalized for this situation during the match.
Given the seriousness of the violation, SHL has decided to disqualify Apple for three games or from October 25 to 31. The Latvian attacker will also have to part with 6,250 Swedish kronor or about 600 euros.
As this will be followed by a break of the teams, Ābols will be able to return to the field only on November 10.
Ābol has scored four goals in eight games this season and has scored three times.
“Orebro” with 18 points in ten matches ranks fifth among 14 teams.
The hockey player spent the previous season in North America, mostly playing for the American Hockey League (AHL) club Springbirds’ Thunderbirds, but in some games he also represented the East Coast Hockey League (ECHL) unit Greenville Swamp Rabbits.
As the National Hockey League (NHL) season is long overdue, the Orebro Hockey Team has agreed with the Florida Panthers to hire Apple.
Last season, the Orebro Club ranked eighth in a 14-unit competition.
