Getting your player ready...
GRAND FORKS, N.D.—The Western Collegiate Hockey Association has suspended North Dakota forward Brad Malone for one game.
Malone’s check of Denver forward Jesse Martin last Saturday led to three fractures in Martin’s neck. Officials gave Malone a 5-minute charging penalty and a game misconduct.
Martin was airlifted to a Minneapolis hospital. He has feeling in all extremities. The two players talked earlier in the week, and Pioneers coach George Gwozdecky said there are no hard feelings on the part of Martin.
The WCHA says Malone will be suspended for UND’s Friday night game against Minnesota-Duluth.
