The ECHL has announced four suspensions stemming from three different games on Friday Night.

Daniel Amesbury and Sean Gulka Suspended

Trois-Rivières Lions forward Sean Gulka has been suspended for three games and fined an undisclosed amount, and Adirondack Thunder forward Daniel Amesbury has been suspended for one game and fined an undisclosed amount for their pre-game antics prior to Friday’s game. During pre-game warmups, Amesbury and Gulka would be at the center of a dust-up between the two teams. It began when Sean Gulka cross-checked Adirondack’s Tanner Edwards.

Amesbury, 35, has one goal and 147 PIMs in 23 games this season between the Utah Grizzlies and Adirondack Thunder. He’s eligibile to return on Sunday Afternoon vs TR.

Gulka, 26, has a goal and 63 PIMs this season with the Lions. His only goal this season came in his first game with Trois-Rivières. He will be eligible to return for the Lions last game of the season next Saturday vs Maine Mariners.

Sloan Stanick Suspended

Tahoe Knight Monsters Sloan Stanick is suspended one game and fined an undisclosed amount for his actions at the 8:05 mark of the first period in Friday’s game vs Allen Americans. Stanick would deliver an elbow up high on Allen’s Landen Hookey but wouldn’t be penalized for the hit during the game. In 45 games this season with Tahoe, he has 21 goals and 29 assists for 50 points. He’s also played in 12 games at the AHL level with the Henderson Silver Knights, where he has four goals and two assists for six points. Stanick will miss tonight’s game vs Allen Americans.

Lincoln Hatten Suspended

Worcester Railers forward Lincoln Hatten has been suspended three games and fined an undisclosed amount for his actions in Friday’s game in Greensboro. At the 6:00 mark of the first period, Hatten delivered a hit to the head of Greensboro Gargoyles defenseman Artyom Borshyov that went uncalled.
