Blue Ridge Bobcats Zemlicka, FINED & SUSPENDED FOUR (4) GAMES
Blue Ridge Head Coach Vojtech Zemlicka has been suspended for Four Games & Fined an undisclosed amount. FPHL Director of Player Safety Dave Jackson stated, "Mr. Zemlicka, either ordered or tacitly condoned his starting five players to go after the Binghamton players at the start of the third period. What happened at the start of the 3rd period was clearly premeditated and from the video, the Blue Ridge players initiated all the fights. Mr. Zemlicka, allowed his players to threaten and incite their opponents during the pregame warmup and Mr, Zemlicka verbally engaged in a running feud with the opposing coach the entire game, culminating in him punching the opposing coach in the face. Mr. Zemlicka will be suspended for FOUR (4) GAMES and is fined."
NOTE: Blue Ridge Bobcats General Manager Jimmy Milliken has been fined an undisclosed amount and the BRB PA Announcer Mike Atwell has been suspended for his actions and may not be present in the scorers box area for the next 2 home games.
