" Penalties will be called for any of the above infractions or anything that puts another player at risk of injury or danger. " If a penalty is called against you, shut your face and get off. " If you are involved in a fight at any time during the regular season, you will be tossed out of the game and MAY receive a season long suspension depending on the severity of the situation. " The MHL Commissioner will consult with the referee on what suspension is deemed fair for the infraction. " If you are given a lengthy suspension during the MHL Playoffs because of a serious infraction, your game suspension will carry through to the next season. " If you leave the bench and involve yourself in a fight, you will receive an automatic suspension. The number of games will be decided by The MHL Commissioner in consultation with the referee. " Game suspensions will begin on the next game your team plays and will carry forth even through the playoffs, if that is the case. " Game suspensions will carry on through the next season if the infraction occurs at or near the end of the regular season " The referee can at his discretion throw a player out anytime for any kind of infraction that he sees as inappropriate and unsafe. " Please respect the goalies and NO CRASHING INTO THEM!!. No team cannot afford to have their goalies injured!!!!! BE A GOOD SPORT! NOT AN ASSHOLE " Please KEEP YOUR COOL when a player gives you what you believe is a cheap shot. Remember it could be accidental. Let the referee call the game and keep your tempers and DO NOT RETALIATE!
