Game
Penguins vs White Walkers
Details
A Penguins player left the ice after a collision with a White Walkers player resulted in an arm hitting them in the head and breaking their visor. No penalty was called on the play.
A complaint was submitted to the ARL Board. As an injury was involved, the incident was reviewed by the Player Safety and Disciplinary Committee (PS&DC).
Result
After review, it was determined the collision was incidental. The Penguins player did not give the White Walkers player space to advance or time to stop, while the head impact occurred when the White Walker player raised their arm at the last moment to defend themselves from the imminent collision. Both teams have been reminded to actively avoid creating a situation where a collision may occur.
