from the devils web site after the issues with fan
"Setting a precedent for unacceptable behavior, the individual has been banned from attending Cardiff Devils games for a total of 5 years"

NO precedent set then

Just the one that I was aware of.
This fan deserves to be banned for the full 5 years, no matter what happens on the ice this is a professional sport and the players should be treated as such,
I'd also be questioning how he got through security in the first place though...
If such an incident were to occur in a football match there would be no hesitancy in issuing a life ban to the offender!

The issue of the fan getting past the barriers has been addressed and measures have been put in place for this not to happen again. The problem that night was it took 5 stewards (who usually would have been at the barriers on a normal night) to try and stop fans above the benches leaning over and possibly injuring themselves and others. This lead to having less stewards at the barrier and someone got through. The onus is not on the security staff/Stewards or the club as the individual made the choice to act in the manner in which they did.
There have been many changes to how match nights are run. Some examples, there are stickers along the railings that clearly state that people should not lean on the barriers (however this seems to be ignored, even when reminded by Paul over the PA). There is now a member of the SIA licensed security staff by the benches at the end of the game. A New barrier system has been implimented at the end of each game.
The issue here is the club and its staff came under scrutiny from the local press and one Mr Simms for the events of this night. The actions of this fan are not acceptable and certainly feel that the 5 year ban should remain in place.
I feel this post has now opened up the gates of hell. Enjoy.

It's been said by the banned person himself to several people, it was also mentioned by lots of people in the last few games of the season. Several people heard it last night at the devils farewell thing.
It needs someone from the club to come forward and confirm, as it could be a rumour, off season is full of them lol

couldn't agree more.
Wasn't aware that more had been done to stop the recurrence of this, I wasn't there on the night (
)to see the security dealing with the fans leaning over etc.To rescind this ban would be a bad move i feel, as if the word gets out about this (which it already appears to have) it would really negatively affect how the devils are perceived in the local community and with long standing fans etc.
We don't want/need this in the sport we love!
Okay waiting to be slated here, what happened on that night should never have happened in a million years, but hey the tension was untrue, Blaze were getting away with murder, We are so passionate in Cardiff sometimes over the top, and who the hell hasnt done something that after the event thought how stupid was that. Myself i think he should be allowed back, the guy isnt a goon he just lost it on that particular night. Remember the person who never made a mistake, never made jack all.

In relation to wannabe 2..... Cardiff Devils get more than passionate on occasion some get get carried away and are worse than football supporters.To say that it was a one off thing maybe ok by you but have you stood in the rink with your yellow vest on being spat at, shouted at and man handled whether it is the home or away fans, certain people believe their can get away with anything they like because they have bought their ticket and are in the building.Have read the back of your ticket.....NO ONE has the right to the rink if it is BELIEVED they make cause trouble or a disruption. Don`t get me wrong I don`t like people being removed or banned from the rink the Devils need all the support they can get but when people step over the line they have to suffer the penalties issued and if that`s a 5 year ban then so be it.Remember that at the same time a football supporter ran on the field at Sheffield and assualted the goalie (Chris Kirkland) he was arrested and given a prison sentence and banned from all football grounds in England and Wales for life (I believe correct me if I`m wrong) so getting a 5 year ban from the Cardiff rink (he can go to any other Ice hockey venue if he wants) is not so bad !!!!
The police didn't seem to agree with you, IIRC the police asked olsonif he wished to press charges for assault after viewing the video, Olson declined to press charges. I think the fan should serve at least 3 of the 5 seasons, at the moment he has only served 4 months or so. If it was football he would've been banned for life. 5 seasons is very steep, but 3 seasons is sensible taking everything into account.
