The Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League has suspended two players from the Nipawin Hawks as a result of a multiple fight incident that occured during the second period of a game played on Tuesday, November 9th. Hawks defenseman Patrick Carriere will miss five games, starting with November 12th and including other games on November 13th, 17th, 19th, and 23rd as it was determined Carriere was the third man involved in a fight that caused the multiple fight situation. Mike Bulawka has been suspended for games on November 12th and 13th for his participation in the incident. Both teams involved, the Hawks and Flin Flon Bombers, have been fined $400. Meanwhile, Melfort Mustangs defenseman Dallas Thomson has been suspended for three games after he received a match penalty against the Nipawin Hawks in a game played November 12th. Thomson was penalized for spearing Nipawin forward Jonathan Lawrance early in the overtime period in a contest that saw the Hawks win 3-2. The Flin Flon Bombers have traded 20-year-old defenseman Dan McIlwain to the Fort William North Stars of the Superior International Hockey League in exchange for future considerations.
