Deeside Dragons player Karl Bacon received a match penalty for checking to the head on Sunday October 9 at Whitley Bay. This has been assessed at Tier 1 in the tariff and receives a 6 game suspension. The club was notified on Thursday evening.

Altrincham Aces goalie Evan Coles was originally suspended for 1 game after a match penalty for roughing against Hull Jets on October 1. After full review as the goalie punched with his blocker the suspension has been increased in line with the tariff for goalies using a blocker to deliver a punch, and Coles is suspended for a total of four games. The club was notified on Friday afternoon.
