From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following is a list of all suspensions and fines enforced in the National Hockey League (NHL) during the 2022–23 NHL season. It lists which players or coaches of what team have been punished for which offense and the amount of punishment they have received.

Players' money forfeited due to suspension or fine goes to the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund, while money forfeited by coaches, staff or organizations as a whole goes to the NHL Foundation.[1]

Suspensions

† - suspension covered at least one 2022 NHL preseason game
‡ - suspension covered at least one 2023 postseason game

Notes

[edit]
1.^ All figures are in US dollars.
2.^ As players are not paid salary in the preseason or postseason, no fines are generated for games lost due to suspension during those periods.

Fines

[edit]

Players can be fined up to 50% of one day's salary, up to a maximum of $10,000.00 for their first offense, and $15,000.00 for any subsequent offenses (player had been fined in the 12 months prior to this fine).[1] Coaches, non-playing personnel, and teams are not restricted to such maximums, though can still be treated as repeat offenders.

Fines for players/coaches fined for diving/embellishment are structured uniquely and are only handed out after non-publicized warnings are given to the player/coach for their first offense.[27] For more details on diving/embellishment fines:
