The Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA) announced on Monday a one-game suspension for Bowling Green sophomore forward Austen Swankler.
The incident occured at 7:55 of the third period on Saturday, December 10, against Minnesota State University. The on-ice call was a 5-minute major and game misconduct penalty for Hitting from Behind. After further league review, the CCHA has determined that the penalty will result in supplemental discipline.
The suspension will be effective for the next NCAA game, which falls on December 16, 2022, against Ohio State University. Swankler will be eligible to return to the Bowling Green lineup on December 17, 2022.
