Ashton Bernard and Marshall Worden are both suspended for 10 games

I will not be going to the U-18 vs. Bowdoin College game but there's live video here. There's no audio but the next best thing to play-by-play is this. My partner at the Maine Hockey Journal, Cris Roy, attended yesterday's game against Colby College.

Press Release

BOUCHERVILLE, Saturday, November 28, 2009 – The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League Disciplinary Prefect announced today that players Ashton Bernard (Cape Breton) and Marshall Worden (Acadie-Bathurst) has been both suspended 10 games. It’s an automatic suspension following their fight during the warm-up, before yesterday's game between the Screaming Eagles and the Titan, played at Centre 200 in Sydney.

Other suspensions and/or fines could be announced by the disciplinary prefect, after reviewing the videotape of the incident and after consulting all concerned parties.

In accordance with the QMJHL policy in the matter of disciplinary sanctions, the Disciplinary Prefect will not be available for further comment.
