So why is it necessary for an encyclopedia to document this? Is it of any intellectual value? Is it of any significance to the world at large?96.49.3.223 (talk) 04:26, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

Dates should be listed as the day the incident occurred, not the day the suspension was handed out. Date of incident references the game in which the incident occurred. Date the suspension was handed out gives no sort of reference or time frame to the situation as the suspension may come on the same day as the incident or even a week later.

Alternatively: e.g.


 * Definitely should be incident date for the reasons mentioned above. Several of the suspension announcements have come after the player has missed a game. Using incident allows for accurate determination of when the suspended player can return. Having this multiple date format would work as well. One95 (talk) 06:26, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

None of the suspensions were announced after a player missed a game. If you are referring to Staubitz/Winsiewski, they were suspended indefinitely before a game was played. When an amount of games was given out for the suspension, the game(s) missed were included in that suspension. Regardless, seeing as it could be useful and is agreeable, I added the date of incident/date of action idea. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.72.218.237 (talk) 19:34, 17 October 2011 (UTC)


 * It'd be nice to see a column whether there was injury on the play and date when the injured player returned to the game. Mikedom (talk) 20:42, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
