After everything I heard over the last week, I was expecting Brad to get a lot more than that.
The Central Hockey League (CHL) announced today the penalties as a result of the actions in Saturday's Colorado Eagles/Odessa Jackalopes preseason game in Loveland, Colorado. The game resulted in a 1-0 forfeit win for Colorado after Odessa failed to complete the game in the third period.
The Komets have released forwards Joe Bluhm and Brant Marple. Keith Rodger will start the season on 10-day injured reserve to get to the 19-man limit.
Less than 2,000 tickets remaining, which is on track with past years for a sellout.
