Oilers and Vålerenga punished with a points penalty – Dagbladet.no

Both champions Stavanger Oilers and Vålerenga get points penalty for having used players who were not entitled.

It writes VG Friday night. Oilers spent Christian Hanson in two games when he was not entitled to play, as did Vålerenga with Sondre Olden.

Valerenga, who won both matches where Olden was not entitled to play pulled by six points. Oilers pulled three points.

Oilers are still champions, while Vålerenga is number six instead of five in the basic game league. The reason that the players were not entitled to play was that the clubs had not paid invoices for transition fee in time.

– That an invoice is not paid in time shall not be, says VIF Director Jan Tore Clothes for VG.

Points deduction has no consequences for the playoffs. – We have talked to all the clubs about today, says Ottar Eide of Norway Hockey Association.

Also 1st division club Tonsberg punished for use of non-eligible players. They deprived 3-2 victory against Manglerud Star qualification about gaming league next season.

The battle put in place the 5-0 victory to Manglerud Star.
