Yablonski suspended for rest of season, Brennan’s ban increased

The KHL Board of Directors conducted an extraordinary meeting to discuss the Vityaz Chekhov case and the behavior of its players.

«We considered the request and decided not to put the question of Vityaz’s removal from the league on the agenda of the KHL Board of Directors. That’s because the league has its own tools in place to prevent such situations.»

«We will not tolerate rudeness on ice. I’ll start with Yablonski. He had a 10 matches ban. For еру lowdown hit he caused to Ryazantsev from behind the League decided to ban Yablonski until the end of the season.»

«As for Brennan, he also has a long history of suspensions. The referees hardly managed to calm him down, while he pushed them and said some words. So, his ban was increased to 15 matches,» Medvedev said to Sovetsky sport.
