The Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA) announced Sunday a two-game suspension for Northern Michigan University’s sophomore defenseman Michael Van Unen.

The suspension is a result of Van Unen’s five-minute major penalty and game misconduct infraction for contact to the head, which occurred at the 18:25 mark of the first period in Northern Michigan's home contest on Saturday, Oct. 9 vs. St. Thomas. After further league review, the CCHA has determined that the penalty will result in supplemental discipline.

The suspension will be effective for the next two NCAA games, which fall on Oct. 16, 2021 against the University of Notre Dame and Oct. 22, 2021 against Bemidji State University.
