This all happened during the match between HC Ambri-Piotta and HC Ajoie, Fohrler got into a scuffle with Eric Gélinas and ended up punching linesman Sandro Gurtner. Fohrler has been suspended for two games as a consequence of his actions.
While it may appear that Fohrler accidentally struck the referee while trying to reach his opponent, some believe that even an unintentional punch should result in a more severe punishment than just two games.
