The WCHA has suspended St. Cloud State forward Aaron Marvin for three games, intimating in a statement that the junior was careless in safe play at Wisconsin on Feb. 20.<\/p>\n
Marvin delivered an open-ice check to Wisconsin captain Blake Geoffrion in that game, and Marvin’s shoulder appeared to make contact with Geoffrion’s head.<\/p>\n
Geoffrion reportedly suffered a concussion and did not play last weekend at Michigan Tech.<\/p>\n
The three-game suspension — Marvin’s second league-issued punishment of the season — carries into the first round of the WCHA playoffs. He will miss this weekend’s home-and-home series against Minnesota State and the first game of a best-of-three home playoff series.<\/p>\n
Marvin also was suspended by the league for one game after he injured North Dakota captain Chay Genoway with a hit from behind on Nov. 13.<\/p>\n
The league said in a news release that the supplemental action announced Monday came after discussions between the league and St. Cloud State officials.<\/p>\n
WCHA commissioner Bruce McLeod and Nancy Sampson, the faculty representative from Denver and the chair of the association, issued a joint statement.<\/p>\n
“Player safety is of paramount concern to all of us in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association and players are responsible for conducting themselves in a proper manner,” the statement reads. “Our student-athletes need to make every possible effort to play within the spirit of the rules and know that they will be held accountable for their actions.<\/p>\n
“The Association, through its administrators and officials and member team administrators, coaches and student-athletes, will continue to work together to address concerns in a responsible and constructive way.”<\/p>\n
There was no immediate indication from the league whether the punishment was amended following an appeal, although league bylaws prohibit public comment until the appeals process is completed or waived.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
