Second fine of the season: Swallow King Chris DiDomenico is again threatened with a suspension

class=”sc-cffd1e67-0 iQNQmc”>

He did it again. Chris DiDomenico (34) was caught trying to deceive the referees and was awarded a penalty. This time the Canadian did not fall theatrically in the service of Fribourg, but rather demonstratively let go of his stick in the top match against Zug (3:4).

«At the face-off circle, DiDomenico positions himself for a shot on goal, but is interrupted by the stick of Zug’s Hansson. DiDomenico then misses the puck, so no shot is taken. When DiDomenico realized he had not hit the puck, he turned to look at the exposed puck,” said the ruling by single judge Stefan Müller. When DiDomenico saw that he no longer had possession of the puck, he dropped his stick fall “for inexplicable reasons and with much delay”.

«DiDomenico extends both arms wide and turns towards the referee and wants to draw attention to the scene with his gesture. The video shows Hansson’s punch hitting DiDomenico’s shovel. But that doesn’t explain his reaction, because he initially wants to continue playing and only drops the stick when he sees that he can no longer reach the puck.

DiDomenico has already received fines of more than 78,000 francs

DiDomenico is fined 4,000 francs for attempted deception. Because he was convicted as an actor for the second time this season, the striker will automatically receive a suspension and a fine of 6,000 francs the next time he is caught. Last season, when he was still playing for SC Bern, he had to miss a match after three swallows.

With the latest fine, the hot-blooded striker has already had to pay out 78,000 francs in fines, of which 34,000 went to Schwalben.

Biel striker Jérôme Bachofner (27) was also fined 1,200 francs for a swallow. During the match in Bern, the Zurich native let himself down theatrically, footballer style.
