Germany's leading scorer Veit suspended for Canada game
Published
The World Juniors disciplinary panel announced Sunday that Germany's Oswald Veit will receive a one game suspension for a check from behind against Latvia’s Dans Locmelis.
Veit will not play against Canada on Sunday.
The incident occurred at the 45:37 mark of the third period against Latvia. The panel determined that Veit delivered a check to a vulnerable player who was not aware of the impending hit and was unable to protect himself.
Veit, 19, leads Germany in scoring with two goals in three games.
The right-winger represented his country at last year's World Junior Championships, where he registered a goal and an assist while finishing as a -5 +/-.
Currently playing with Red Bull Munich of the DEL, the six-foot forward has scored five goals and 10 points in 47 career games across two seasons played for the club.
