NHL player Chris Simon recently set a record for longest (in number of games) suspension for an on-ice incident of 30 games.

What was the previous record and who first set it ?

25 games, by none other than Chris Simon himself. From Fox Sports:What circumstances? Well about this. After returning on Oct. 13 from an NHL record 25-game suspension he (Simon) had earned by two-handing Ryan Hollweg across the face last March 10, it took Simon all of nine weeks, 26 games, 248 shifts and 181:46 of ice time - just over three hours - to commit his next heinous crime.

Yes indeed. I figure he is probably just misunderstood

Thanks for the answer !
