Cormier Plans Appeal Of QMJHL Suspension

((HT: Rogers Sportsnet))

In much like every other proceeding in the modern era, the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies' Patrice Cormier is appealing the season-long suspension regarding his elbows-up hit on the Quebec Remparts Mikael Tam.

The Huskies coach and GM Andre Tourigny said on a conference call that the suspension for the rest of the season and the playoffs was "excessive."

"He could serve up to 48 games, that's too much."

The QMJHL has not received any kind of word on an appeal from the Huskies, Cormier, or any type of Cormier representative. They haven't even gotten any of the appropriate paperwork if there was an interest. And, as a result, there is no word on any kind of appeal-based hearing between the two parties.

Everything rolls downhill in this case where the papers are concerned...
And you can't do anything without the proper papers...

Doug MacLean is right... please, please don't send the kid over to the KHL. That would be a different kind of punishment in and of itself...
