Kile is fined and suspended under Rule #28 – Supplementary Discipline as the result of his game misconduct at 6:22 of the third period.

Kile will miss Florida’s game at Savannah tonight (April 5) and any further discipline will be announced next week following a hearing with the ECHL Department of Player Safety.
