ECHL Announces Fines and Suspensions | 03/17/2024

The ECHL has announced fines and suspensions for the following players, Cincinnati Cyclone’s defenceman, Cole Fraser, was fined an undisclosed amount and suspended for one game due to his actions during the match-up against Ft Wayne Komet’s. On March 16th, the day the offense occurred, Fraser was announced as Cincinnati’s Star of the Game. Fraser is fined and suspended under Rule# 28: Supplementary Discipline directly resulting from his actions at 9:44 of the Second Period, in retaliation for the hit on Jalen Smereck by Komets Nolan Volcan

While Smereck was slowly rising from the hit, Fraser crossed the ice and immediately started throwing hands, taking Nolan Volcan to the ice. He landed more than five hits while Nolan cowered, protecting his head. Fraser immediately left the period, heading to the locker room until the end of the second period. For continuing the altercation, Fraser was penalized ten minutes for misconduct and two minutes for roughing, for which Zack Andrusiak served time. Fraser will miss the March 17th game against Indy Fuel to fulfill his suspension.
