Report: Stoll faces discipline hearing

153 Comments

Nick Kypreos of SportsNet reported this morning that Kings center Jarret Stoll facing a supplemental-phone discipline hearing this morning with the league after his hit last night on San Jose’s Ian White. There’s been no timetable revealed. In an unrelated story a few months ago, here’s what Colin Campbell, NHL vice president of hockey operations, said about the discipline-hearing process.

“The structure of discipline, it’s a quick process,” Campbell told NHL.com. “We had two disciplines (on a Wednesday) night that both occurred after 9 o’clock. We had to contact the manager, set up the discipline meeting for the next morning — one team played again (Thursday) and the other team (Friday), so we had to get it done. We had to send tapes to the Players’ Association. We had to contact the agents. We had the hearings and the decisions were made by noon (Thursday). It’s not something you can muse over and get a panel together.”

For those who haven’t seen the hit yet, click below for the best video I could find this morning…
