Ice Hockey Controversy: Referee Response to Dangerous Tackle Causes Debate

See the situation in the player above.

– Number one, I don’t want to single out the referees, they follow the directives they get from their bosses. I think it is a black day for ice hockey that we are looking at that situation at all, says Roger Rönnberg in TV4 play’s broadcast.

Later he develops for SVT Sport.

– The responsibility of the person who is injured must increase. Can you look at these situations, at whether you could have protected yourself better, instead of putting one hundred percent responsibility on the one who distributes a tackle.

“What causes it to be expelled”

Leksand has announced after the match that Jon Knuts is undergoing a medical examination.

– As a basis, offensive tackles are allowed in hockey to protect the puck and so on. But Malte in this case has an upward movement and then the tackle hits the head and then it should be sent off according to the directives we have, says one of the main referees Marcus Linde to SVT Sport.

There are quite a few who do not seem to agree with those directives. What do you think that there is such a large discrepancy between public opinion and the directives?

– Of course, I have also followed the debate and it is clear that there is a lot in it. That players need to be trained in a different way to protect themselves and so on. I judge according to the directives we receive, so if that changes, I will also change my mind. Then I also think that with main tackles we have to be strict.

Håkan Loob: “Should not be a match penalty”

The situation was then commented on as well in SVT’s “Hockey evening”.

– Strömwall has no intention, nothing. He believes that Knuts is closer and there should be no match penalty, says expert Håkan Loob.
