Overview
- French officials imposed the ban after reviewing his ejection against Canada and his provocative gestures toward spectators as he left the ice.
- The IIHF opted against any further sanctions, leaving Canada’s Tom Wilson eligible to continue in the tournament.
- Both players received five-minute fighting majors and game misconducts late in a 10–2 game, reflecting the stricter international rules that prohibit fighting.
- Crinon will miss France’s qualification game against Germany on Tuesday, and he will not return for any subsequent matches in Milan-Cortina.
- The FFHG cited a duty to set an example and noted Crinon’s prior seven-game Ligue Magnus suspension this season when explaining the decision.
