He accumulated 130 penalty minutes (PIM)âfifth highest in the West Coast Hockey League through Jan. 10, 2003âand was suspended by the league six times.
The 25-year old Austin has not played in the last two games due to injury. The 6-foot-1, 210-pound Austin has played in five games with the Ice Dogs since his acquisition, recording one assist. He played in 14 games with the Steelheads this season, recording one assist and four PIM's.
