The Central Collegiate Hockey Association today announced that sophomore forward Kai Kantola of Bowling Green State University has been suspended for three games as the result of a checking-from-behind incident that occurred in a game at BGSU Ice Arena on October 23 against Notre Dame.

The supplemental disciplinary action was taken by the CCHA after a review of the incident that occurred at 16:13 of the first period and resulted in the player receiving a major penalty for Hitting From Behind and a disqualification penalty.

Kantola will be required to serve this suspension during Bowling Green's next two regularly scheduled series on Nov. 2-3 against Western Michigan and on Nov. 9-10 against Ferris State. He is eligible to return to the lineup on Nov. 16.
