CHL Announces Final Discipline from Allen/Fort Worth Brawl

[chilly666]

GLENDALE, AZ - The Central Hockey League (CHL) announced today the final discipline from last Saturday's game between the Allen Americans and the Fort Worth Brahmas. The league had previously announced that head coach Steve Martinson, forward Alex Penner and defenseman Trevor Hendrikx would all receive suspensions. Both Martinson's and Hendrikx's suspensions were one game (1) and both were served on Sunday (Feb. 24).

Penner has missed the Americans last two games (Sunday and Tuesday) and moving forward will be suspended for the remainder of the 2012-13 regular season and 2013 Ray Miron Presidents' Cup Playoffs. His suspension is open-ended and should Penner consider playing in the CHL again, a hearing will be conducted at that time determining his reinstatement status. During the game, Penner received an instigating minor penalty, a fighting major penalty, a fighting instigator misconduct, a fighting aggressor game misconduct and a fighting secondary altercation game misconduct (37 total penalty minutes).

All other discipline from the game comes in the form of fines. The Allen Americans organization, head coach (Martinson), Jim McKenzie, Aaron Dell, Mike Berube, Garrett Clarke, Penner and Hendrikx have all been fined an undisclosed amount of money.

For Fort Worth, head coach Dan Wildfong, Greg Eskedjian, Shawn Szydlowski, Ricky Helmbrecht and Kristofer Westblom have all been fined an undisclosed amount of money.

So Im assuming Penner can't play elsewhere this season?

Probably correct (except maybe the LNAH), as most leagues will still honor the CHL's suspension.

You'd think Penner would have recieved more PIMS than 37. I would have expected it to have been in the 40-60 range

[The_Sheriff]

He could go back to England. Nottingham loved him as far as I heard

[Chainsaw Churla]

Alex Penner is garbage.

Horse**** suspension. 2 games max. He only beat the guy up a bit. Schneider was getting hit with mostly body punches. He skated off perfectly fine.

If makes me wonder if, had the Fort Worth bench cleared, would Penner have gotten a much lighter suspension.

And I agree, that was hardly a beatdown. Plenty of WEAK body punches.

Nothing close to this

i'm guessing the league also took into account penner's numerous prior suspensions while with colorado before they jumped ship...just a hunch

[Kid Roberts]

Good. He's a no-good bum.

He's also dirty as crap. I saw him step on someone this year. That's not a hockey player...

He can try to go to Stockton (ECHL) but the league would review the incident to deem his eligibility to play

I could see him getting more than that for the slash alone, but this is overkill. That's 14 games minimum for a slash and a weak punch to the ass.
