UW hockey: Burish put on notice, but WCHA won’t add to suspension

Western Collegiate Hockey Association commissioner Bruce McLeod said he’s disappointed in Adam Burish’s actions, but he won’t add any extra games to the University of Wisconsin hockey captain’s punishment.

Burish is out for Saturday’s WCHA game against Minnesota State because of a game disqualification he received for a hit on Colorado College’s Scott Thauwald at the end of last Saturday’s game. McLeod reviewed video of the incident but, after consulting with league supervisor of officials Greg Shepherd and taking into account past league suspensions, decided Tuesday it did not warrant more on-ice discipline.
