WEEK 2 – PLAYER SAFETY REVIEW & DISCIPLINARY REPORT

DEPARTMENT OF PLAYER SAFETY

The FPHL Department of Player Safety has completed its review of several incidents from week 2 of the 2026–27 season. The following decisions were issued following video review and additional discussions with game officials.

GAME #10 – OCTOBER 16, 2026

Jared Christy (#5) – Monroe

Incident: Slew Foot / Tripping – 2nd Period, 18:19

Following a review requested by the opposing coach, video clearly shows Christy kicking out his opponent's left leg while he was moving toward the boards. This dangerous action warranted supplemental discipline beyond the original tripping penalty.

Disciplinary Action: TWO (2) GAME SUSPENSION

Jamie Dorsey (#33) – Monroe

Incident: Head Butting – 2nd Period, 20:00

Following a scrum at the end of the period, Dorsey retaliated against an opponent by snapping his head and helmet backward into the opponent's face, knocking him to the ice. This dangerous and intentional action has no place in the game.

Disciplinary Action: TWO (2) GAME SUSPENSION

GAME #12 – OCTOBER 16, 2026

Taylor Cutting (#11) – Watertown

Incident: Unsportsmanlike Conduct – 3rd Period, 14:41

During a second scrum on the same stoppage, Cutting ended up on the ice and became involved with players on the opposing bench. While the circumstances did not warrant the automatic six-game suspension associated with leaving the bench, his actions were inappropriate and unacceptable.

Disciplinary Action: ONE (1) GAME SUSPENSION

GAME #17 – OCTOBER 17, 2026

Corson Green (#3) – Monroe

Incident: Abuse of Officials – 3rd Period, 12:50

After receiving a minor penalty and misconduct for verbal abuse, Green was directed to leave the ice. Instead, he sprayed water onto the playing surface and subsequently received a game misconduct for continuing his actions. While the subsequent verbal exchange with a linesman did not warrant an additional game misconduct, Green's overall conduct was unacceptable.

Disciplinary Action: ONE (1) GAME SUSPENSION

GAME #21 – OCTOBER 17, 2026

Ron Peeaychew (#20) – Columbus

Incident: Aggressor – 3rd Period, 6:08

Video review shows Peeaychew approaching an opponent from behind, taking him to the ice, and delivering at least three punches to an unwilling opponent. This conduct meets the criteria for an aggressor penalty and warrants supplemental discipline.

Disciplinary Action: ONE (1) GAME SUSPENSION

DEPARTMENT OF PLAYER SAFETY

The FPHL Department of Player Safety will continue to review incidents throughout the season and address conduct that falls outside the expectations of professional hockey. Player safety, respect for officials, and maintaining the integrity of the game remain priorities for the league.
