Sudbury Wolves rookie forward Anton Hedman
faced the wrath of the OHL yesterday when he was suspended two
games for a fighting during the Wolves' 5-1 loss to the
Sarnia Sting Nov. 6.
 |
Hedman was suspended for instigating a fight
with Mississauga Ice Dogs' defenceman David Pszenyczny in
the last five minutes of the game, contrary to CHL rules.
According to league officials, the two-game suspension is
automatic for any player caught instigating a brawl in the
dying minutes of a game.
There is opportunity for Hedman or the
Sudbury Wolves to appeal the ruling.
As a result of the suspension, Hedman will
miss road games on Friday and Saturday against the Guelph Storm
and Erie Otters respectively.
Hedman's offensive contributions, nine
goals and 7 assists in 18 games will be missed by a struggling
Wolves' squad that was outscored 10-1 in their last two
games and has just one road win in seven games.
