3. The Central Hockey League's reasoning for suspending Trevor Kell for 1 game was that he made "unnecessary, avoidable and dangerous contact" with an opposing player during a line change in a game against the Rapid City Rush.
4. The Central Hockey League's reasoning for suspending Jesse Perrin for 1 game "as a result of receiving a match penalty in Tuesday's game at Quad City. Perrin was given a major penalty for an 'illegal check to the head' infraction that is accompanied by the match penalty".
