As already reported, a WhatsApp exchange from the 99ers president caused the problem
Herbert Jerich with a player who
Vienna Capitals for discussions. Jerich tried to do this before the last lap of the basic round
ICE Hockey Leagueto give the Viennese additional motivation to give their all in the decisive game against the KAC.
What was initially presented as a “joking attempt at motivation” developed into a case for the league after the content became known. As previously announced, the matter was handled by the league boss
Christian Feichtinger
handed over to the Legal Commission.
Legal commission makes verdict
Now there is a decision, as the “Kleine Zeitung” reports: The
Graz99ers were fined. The league thus confirmed that the behavior was viewed as a violation of the integrity of the competition – even if no more serious intervention such as point deductions or transfer bans appeared necessary.
As is usual in such cases, the exact amount of the penalty is not communicated publicly. According to the club, however, the verdict was accepted.
“Not appropriate for a professional league”
Internally, too, there was insight. General Manager
Bernd Vollmann
emphasized again that Jerich now sees his behavior critically. Even well-intentioned or “positive motivation” is not appropriate in a professional league.
In this context, the league emphasized the importance of fairness and integrity and referred to existing rules such as the Play Fair Code.
