2008-09 SeasonJanuary 29, 2009 SAIT Men’s Hockey Forfeit re: Bassingthwaite – On January 23, 2009 SAIT’s Sean Bassingthwaite received his fourth game misconduct of the season, which automatically calls for a one game suspension pursuant to the Operating Code. SAIT was not aware that Mr. Bassinghtwaite’s January 23rd game misconduct was his fourth of the season and neglected to sit him out against NAIT on January 24, 2009. SAIT won that game 3-2. Art. I Sec. 13 Rule 8.6 mandates that SAIT must forfeit it's January 24 victory. Mr. Bassingthwaite is not required to serve a suspension pursuant to the wording of the rule. Commissioner B. Hendsbee |
