The American Hockey League’s Player Safety Committee has suspended Rockford IceHogs forwards Connor Mylymok and Dillon Boucher for one game apiece. The penalties stem from an accumulation of fighting majors during a game at Chicago on March 21. Both players will miss Rockford’s matchup against Grand Rapids on March 22.
From Springfield, Massachusetts, the AHL’s Player Safety Committee issued suspensions to two Rockford IceHogs forwards. Connor Mylymok and Dillon Boucher each received a one-game ban for their involvement in a game against Chicago on March 21. This action follows AHL Rule 23.7, which mandates an automatic suspension upon reaching a certain number of fighting majors in a season. Mylymok earned his 11th such major, while Boucher reached his 10th. As a result, neither player will participate in Rockford’s game versus Grand Rapids on March 22. The league enforces these rules to manage player conduct and maintain order on the ice. Rockford IceHogs, a key affiliate in the American Hockey League, continue their schedule despite the absences.
