      occasions.
      These
      violations

      Phillipe
      Lavoie
      was
      found
      to
      have
     
     
      breach
      the
      playing

      His
      intention
      to
     
     
      contact
      or
      strike
      Carragher
      is
      clear.
      It

      Lavoie
      was
     
     
      suspended
      for
      a
      one
      year
      period
      com-
     
     
      mencing
      February
      24,
      1996.
     
    

    
     
      Lastly,
      Jean
      Imbeau
      was
      the
     
     
      subject
      of
      two
      complaints
      from
      UPEI.
      It
     
     
      was
      represented
      that
      he
      had
      been
      one
      of
     
     
      the
      players
      who
      mobbed
      the
      officials,
     
     
      not
      allowing
      them
      to
      leave
      the
      ice.
      It
     
     
      was
      further
      stated
      that
      he
      threw
      a
      stool
     
     
      which
      had
      been
      used
      by
      the
      TV
      camera-
     
     
      man.
      It
      was
      the
      finding
      of
      Don
      Wells,
     
     
      the
      Hockey
      Chairperson,
      that
      Imbeau
     
     
      did
      not
      breach
      the
      Code
      of
      Ethics
      by
     
     
      being
      on
      the
      ice
      and
      in
      the
      proximity
      of
     
     
      the
      violence
      against
      the
      referee.
      Wells
     
     
      found
      that
      Imbeau
      took
      no
      part
      in
      the
     
     
      violence
      against
      the
      official.
      Simply
     
     
      being
      on
      the
      ice
      and
      in
      the
      area
      of
      the
     
     
      violence
      was
      not
      sufficient
      to
      constitute
     
     
      a
      breach
      of
      the
      Code
      of
      Ethics.
      How-
     
     
      ever,
      the
      portion
      of
      the
      complaint
      which
     
     
      involved
      throwing
      the
      stool
      or
      chair
      was
     
     
      found
      to
      be
      valid.
      This
      was
      considered
     
     
      to
      be
      the
      equivalent
      of
      a
      gross
      miscon-
     
     
      duct
      penalty
      and
      Wells
      suspended
      Jean
     
     
      Imbeau
      for
      three
      games
      to
      be
      served
      at
     
     
      the
      commencement
      of
      the
      1996/97
     
     
      season.
     
    

    
     
      Raymond
      Delarosbil,
      Martin*
     
     
      Duval,
      Michel
      Savoie
      and
      Alain
     
     
      Louisgnant
      were
      all
      named
      in
      the
      com-
     
     
      plaint
      filed
      by
      UPEI
      as
      being
      players
     
     
      who
      were
      part
      of
      the
      group
      which
      was
     
     
      mobbing
      the
      official.
      After
      a
      review
      of
     
     
      the
      representation,
      it
      was
      determined
      by
     
     
      Wells
      that
      none
      of
      these
      players
      were
     
     
      part
      of
      the
      violence
      against
      the
      referee.
     
     
      None
      of
      these
      players
      committed
      any
     
     
      violent
      act
      or
      showed
      any
      intention
      to
     
     
      violence
      towards
      the
      game
      officials.
      No
     
     
      sanction
      was
      imposed
      upon
      them.
      No
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      complaint
      was

      other
     
     
      members
      of
