The ECHL Department of Player Safety on Saturday announced that Iowa’s William Rousseau has been suspended for one game and fined an undisclosed amount as a result of his actions in ECHL Game #73, Fort Wayne at Iowa, on Oct. 31.

Rousseau is fined and suspended under Rule #28 – Supplementary Discipline as the result of his match penalty for spearing at 14:00 of the first period.
