    QMJHL steps up punishment for players who instigate fights, frequent offenders

    National ToneBy National ToneJune 9, 2023No Comments1 Min Read

    A player in the QMJHL who fights will be issued a game misconduct and suspended for a game for each subsequent fight, commissioner Mario Cecchini announced on Friday.

    The announcement comes after the league’s member assembly “endorsed a ban on fighting,” in March.

    Officially, the QMJHL approved the:

    1. Addition of a game misconduct penalty for any player involved in a fight;
    2. Addition of an automatic one-game suspension for any player declared the instigator of a fight;
    3. Addition of a minimum two-game automatic suspension for any player identified as the aggressor;
    4. In addition to the game misconduct, an automatic one-game suspension will be imposed once a player has reached his second fight, rather than his third.

    “We are taking a tremendous stride towards player safety,” Cecchini said in a press conference Friday, ahead of the league’s draft.
