Apparently Mel Angelstad has been banned for 6 games, for what he did to Hutchy up in Newcastle. Is this a good enough punishment, or should he receive more?

A 6 game ban will hurt him and the Vipers but it was never going to be a longer ban unless he roughed up a ref

i'd say more of a 10 match ban, but if its 6 i should hope newcastle will have to pay of fine of some sort

i think 6 games plus a fine would be enough
as Hutchins survived his injury, he played the next day probably more out of pride though im sure the stitchings hurt

Yes 6 matches is probably all he would have got anyway.

agree, i dont think a 6 game match is enough, a fine aswell from him and the club i think (its not fair he shouldn't pay one as he did it, not the team)...
mind you, with the police having been involving i think this will be changed once the tapes are completly reviewed by both the elite league and the police if needbe

I can upset young children easily (By telling them the truth about Santa) but would find controlling an irate Anglestad easier ;D

 6 matches is just the initial ban going on evidence put forward by the match officials. I have read that the Elite League are going to also review the incident and ban Mel for longer if they see fit. I didn't see the incident so can't comment, but I'm sure the league will deal with it professionally. I'm just glad Hutch is ok,,,He's a top player and a top guy.

8 match ban and a public apology-
PERSONAL STATEMENT BY MEL ANGELSTAD
“I deeply regret my actions last Saturday evening; actions which resulted in an opposing player sustaining a head injury from my stick.
“While I accept that my career has been built around playing tough hockey, this is not something I would normally do, and it’s not something I am proud of. I reacted badly to a situation.
“I have let my teammates down, I have let the management down and I have let the fans down. For that I am sorry.
“Finally, but most importantly, I would like to apologise to Coventry’s Jeff Hutchins. I am pleased he has made a recovery and is playing hockey with the Blaze again.
“Prior to this incident I was enjoying my hockey with Mobilx Newcastle Vipers, and I look forward to returning to action and helping the team on the ice.”
[From The Vipers Site]
