October 29th, 2008 Devon Hobbs goes knee on knee with Pontiacs captain Craig Cuthbert knocking Cuthbert out of the lineup for over a month. Hobbs plays the next night in the rematch with Bonnyville.
January 24th, 2009 Ryan Edens attempts to decapitate Craig Cuthbert as Cuthbert carries the puck across the blueline. Cuthbert misses another month.
January 9th, 2009 Marc Antoine Juneau tears ligaments in his knee ending his season after being hit by a member of the Lloydminster Bobcats. Juneau is still awaiting surgery at home in Quebec.
January 23,rd 2009 Alex Grill Donovan breaks his leg by going awkwardly into the boards with a member of the Spruce Grove Saints. While the hit was not dirty it did result in a season ending injury.
February 16th, 2008 Colin Scherger of the Brooks Bandits sticks his knee out on Jeremy Gerhardt in the neutral zone. Not only did Gerhardt miss the end of last season but rehab took so long that he missed the first 2 weeks of this season.
March 14th, 2008 Game 5 of round 2. Pontiacs Captain Jamie Sadlowski is checked from behind into the boards causing a shoulder separation. Sadlowski doesn't play in the 6th and deciding game in that series and the injury contributes to his decision to focus solely on golf and not come back for his 20 year old season so as not to risk further injury.
There were no "indefinate suspensions" handed out.

The Greg Hennessey suspension was not the reason the Bonnyville Pontiacs lost last night. The better team won the hockey game and the Pontiacs know they need to be better come Monday night.
The Pontiacs best players will need to show up and actually be their best players and if Hennessey is back in the lineup it will help.

I'll be using the night off to watch my first ever sledge hockey game. There are a couple opportunities to catch Matt Cook in action tonight with a gold medal on the line.
From Hockey Canada:
Canada’s National Sledge Team will face the United States on Sunday, March 1 in the gold medal game the 2009 Hockey Canada Cup, a four-team tournament being held as a test event for the 2010 Paralympic Winter Games.

Tibideau, controls the board they listen to what ever he says. I was at the game and looked like a clean hit to me. How long does it take to make a decison on a suspension? All the cases you have stated above were far more serious incidents than this. Especially the Cuthbert hit to the head.Edens should have gotten a match penalty for that hit. I did not see the Gerhart hit but should have been dealt with as well. If you look at all the suspensions handed out this year Ft mac were no angels
Missing Hennessey was the reason the Pontiacs lost. That and the phantom calls by Trottier. The league has decided that they don't want the Pontiacs in the playoffs. The Pontiacs are on their own. But they can do it. THEY WILL DO IT!
