Aso Wednesday, the WHL announced a 25-game suspension to Victoria Royals forward Alex Edwards for checking Everett Silvertips defenceman Dexter Whittle during the second period of Saturday's game.

Edwards was assessed a match penalty for intent to injure on the play, in which he drove Whittle into the end boards.

The WHL said a pair of suspensions to Edwards last season factored into the discipline. He's eligible to return to the Royals lineup Dec. 1.
