The ECHL announced today that Las Vegas Wranglers forward Alex Bourret has been fined an undisclosed amount “as a result of his actions in ECHL Game #586 at Ontario on March 7.” Bourret has been fined under Rule #29 – Supplemental Discipline.

Bourret was hit with a 2-minute slashing penalty at 4:15 of the second period, but it is not specified whether his fine is related to this penalty or not. As Rule 29 notes, “the Commissioner may, at his discretion, investigate any incident that occurs in connection with any Pre-season, Exhibition, League or Playoff game and may assess additional fines and/or suspensions for any offense committed during the course of a game or any aftermath thereof by a player, goalkeeper, Trainer, Manager, Coach or non-playing Club personnel or Club executive, whether or not such offense has been penalized by the Referee.”

Under the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement between the ECHL and the Professional Hockey Players’ Association, player fines collected by the ECHL are given to the PHPA for its ECHL Player’s Hardship Fund.
