Atlantic Hockey announced Saturday a one-game suspension for Niagara defenseman Noah Carlin, effective for the Purple Eagles’ next game.
The suspension is a result of Carlin’s major penalty and game misconduct for kneeing, which occurred at the 6:46 mark of the third period in Niagara’s Atlantic Hockey semifinal game on March 10 at Canisius.
Upon review, the infraction was deemed to warrant a suspension.
Niagara’s next scheduled Division I game is tonight, March 11, against Canisius in Game 2 of their Atlantic Hockey semifinal series. Carlin would be eligible to return for the Purple Eagles’ semifinal series Game 3 on March 12 at Canisius or the Atlantic Hockey championship on March 18 if Sunday’s game is not necessary.
