Harvey handed four-game ban by Elite League

Kevin Harvey, forward for the Coventry Blaze has been given a four-game suspension following a disciplinary review by the Elite League.

The suspension follows a supplementary discipline request from Fife Flyers over an incident in the third period of Blaze’s 6-1 win at the Skydome on Sunday night.

Harvey was given a 2+10-minute checking to the head penalty at 46.02, which has since been upgraded to a match penalty for checking to the head.

The minimum three-game ban applies but an extra game – which Blaze can appeal – has been added due to the severity of the incident.

As a result, Harvey will now miss the following matches:

  • Fife (away – September 21)
  • Hull Stingrays (home – September 22)
  • Dundee Stars (home – September 29)
  • Sheffield Steelers (away – October 5)
