The head coach of the Melville Millionaires, and the team, successfully appealed his suspension and the team fine. The appeal also reduced the suspensions for some of the five players.

Initially, Millionaires' head coach Mike Rooney was suspended for 10 games and the team fined $1,500 dollars, while five players were suspended for five games. After the appeals, the suspension against Rooney was rescinded, as was the fine. The suspension for player Brandon LaRochelle remained in at five games, while the other four players who were suspended had their suspensions reduced to three games.

The suspensions stemmed from an off-ice incident that occurred on September 24th. No details about the incident were released by the team or league.
