The SIHF sports tribunal has rejected EHC Biel's appeal regarding the four-game suspension of Beat Forster. He will thus miss this weekend's games against Ambrì and Kloten.

The Seelanders' defender was suspended for a total of four games (including a fine of CHF 6,370.-) for cross-checking ZSC Lions' Chris Baltisberger in the 46th minute of play in the game at the Hallenstadion on January 19. Footage of the incident can be watched here.

As Forster has already sat out two games, he will be allowed to hit the ice again in the road clash with Lausanne HC on Thursday next week.
