NCHC slaps Miami’s Lemirande with one-game suspension for illegal hit at Denver

The NCHC announced Monday that the league has issued a one-game suspension to Miami junior forward Conor Lemirande.

The suspension stems from an illegal hit during Miami’s game against Denver on Saturday, Nov. 19 at Magness Arena in Denver.

Lemirande was assessed a major penalty for interference and a game misconduct at the 51-second mark of the first period Saturday for an illegal, high hit on a Denver player who was not in possession of the puck.

Lemirande will be required to serve the suspension during Miami’s next game, which is Friday, Dec. 2, at Cornell. He is eligible to return for the RedHawks’ series finale with the Big Red on Saturday, Dec. 3.
