Rule 410. Supplementary Discipline

  1. In addition to the suspensions imposed under these rules, the Proper Authorities may, at the conclusion of the game, at their discretion, investigate any incident that occurs in connection with any game and may assess additional suspensions for any offense committed before, during the course of a game, or any aftermath thereof by a player or Team Official, whether or not such offense has been penalized by the Referee.

    For Juniors only - The Proper Authorities shall be the President/Commissioner, Referee-in-Chief and/or a League-appointed person.

  2. Suspensions imposed during a USA Hockey State, District, or Regional Play-Off, or National Championship, must be served during that same Play-Off or Championship. If the length of suspension carries beyond that Play-Off for an advancing team, the Discipline Committee of the following Play-Off or Championship shall be the sole authority in determining the eligibility of the individual(s).

  3. For Juniors only - Suspensions imposed during a USA Hockey National Championship must be served during the same play-off or championship. If the length of suspension carries beyond that championship, the Discipline Committee of the League shall be the sole authority in the determination of the eligibility of the individual(s).

    (Note) Players who are suspended by action of the Discipline Committee, whose suspension extends beyond their eligibility for competition in the League, shall be served by the offending player's team in either of the following fashions:

    1. The team may be fined up to One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) per game of the unexpired suspensions; or
    2. The team may choose to play ``short'' for the number of games necessary to serve the offending player's suspension.

  4. In the case of a match penalty, the Proper Authorities (as defined in the Glossary) shall be required to conduct any disciplinary actions in accordance with the provisions of USA Hockey's ``Resolutions of Disputes, Arbitration, and Suspensions'' section of the current USA Hockey Annual Guide.
