Is the verdict harsh enough? Blick asked experts from the ice hockey scene:

“The verdict is rather soft for me. The verbal assault on the ref stands in relation to family member accidental and unfortunate physical contact with it, especially since his choice of words to me is a relic of antiquity,” says Ueli Schwarz, member of the board of directors at EHC Biel and MySports expert. “But in this case there is a second level: nowadays a coach is expected to be aware of his function as a role model and to have an exemplary function. That remains unmentioned in the judgment and unauthorized. Crawford also comes off lightly. In this case, however, the threat of recidivism must now be clearly raised and there should be no more blundering.”

“You set a good example with the game suspension”

“This case was new territory. Nothing comparable has existed before. I can understand the judgment based on the existing regulations. In the summer, however, you have to see if you want to tighten up the regulations,” says Bern’s CEO Raeto refiner. Marco Werder, his counterpart at Lugano, says: “Emotions, really? Yes. This choice of words? An absolute no go. You set a good example with the game suspension. » It is difficult to say whether the punishment is sufficient. You could discuss that.

“Enough has already been said, what Crawford did just doesn’t work anymore. Whether that one lock and juicy penalty is too much or too little, I don’t really know,” says ex-defender-roughneck and MySports expert Tim Helbling. “But actually I think it’s okay, Crawford and him ZSC Sorry. I also think it is entirely justified that the media has intensively covered and investigated the case. But now you have to do it right leave it like that

Crawford gave himself in his opinion remorseful to those affected. “I made a terrible mistake and used an unacceptable term when communicating with the referee. As soon as those words left my mouth I regretted it,” Crawford wrote. He apologizes to the referee CaucasusNL President Berner, CEO League vaucher and Chief Referee Fischer.

He behaved “very inappropriately” and acted “unprofessionally,” continued the Canadian. “I know I’m putting the league to shame to have and I’m very sorry. I want to apologize to anyone who was hurt by my actions.” He is trying to become a “better person”.
