Last week, the disciplinary commission of Slovak Ice Hockey Federation considered Martin Belluš´ start for HK Poprad against HK Nitra in the 14th round (3:2) as unauthorised. HK Poprad´s forward will be penalised for 4 games, the hands of Patrik Molotov – club´s manager, will be tied for 2 months.

Belluš had played for Banská Bystrica in the pre-game of the 14th round, before moving to Poprad at the beginning of October. Representing Poprad, he then played the proper game of the 14th round against HK Nitra.
