In the wake of the heaviest penalty in China's ice hockey history, the victim Huang Peng's father is satisfied with the penalty and has decided not to demand compensation and appeal.
Qiqihar's sports bureau where the sanctioned player and coach Lang Bingyu is registered says Lang had no intention of hurting Huang.
China's winter sports authorities yesterday announced a lifetime ban for Lang for attacking rival player Huang during the Chinese Ice
Hockey League game between Qiqihar and Chengde last week.
Lang's coach Liu Wen has been banned from the league for a year and disqualified from his candidacy for coach of the national team.
Lang hit Huang in the face with a hockey stick. Huang lost three teeth and received 42 stitches on the cheek from the attack.
