Daniel Zaar suspension Rögle, Digi Mart USA News: Daniel Zaar has been suspended for six matches after a disciplinary mistake, according to reporting from Aftonbladet Sportbladet. The Rögle forward was originally banned for four games following a match penalty for a head check in a road loss to Örebro after the final SHL round before the international break.
The disciplinary panel of the Swedish Ice Hockey Association set the suspension to run from November 1, 2026 through November 21, 2026, and said it was estimated to equal four matches. However, Rögle also plays two CHL quarterfinal games against Skellefteå during that window, meaning the suspension in practice extends across six matches.
Head coach Dan Tangnes told Helsingborgs-Dagblad that the panel had completely misunderstood the situation, calling it a general error. Johan Nordin, chairman of the disciplinary panel, acknowledged the mistake, saying the panel was not aware that Rögle was playing two CHL matches in that period and would have factored them in had it known.
Rögle has appealed the decision to the Swedish Sports Confederation’s Disputes Tribunal (RIN), which is scheduled to take up the case on Monday, November 16. By then three of the affected matches will have been played, but the club said there is still time to correct the suspension so that it covers the originally intended four matches.
