(Rochester, NY)... The American Hockey League announced today that Rochester Americans defenseman Mike Weber has been suspended for three (3) regular-season games as a result of his actions during an AHL game vs. Binghamton on December 9th.
Weber was assessed a game misconduct penalty under AHL Rule 41.1 (Category III) at 19:35 of the second period.
He will miss Rochester's games on Thursday (December 13th) at Chicago, Friday (December 14th) at Rockford and Saturday (December 15th) at Peoria.
Rochester Americans General Manager Jody Gage announced today that the Florida Panthers (NHL) have reassigned defenseman Jordan Henry from the Florida Everblades of the ECHL. The transfer marks his second promotion to the AHL this season. Henry made his AHL debut in Rochester's 4-0 loss to the Syracuse Crunch on November 10th.
