AHLer suspended for sixth time since 2021 following boarding call (video)

Boko Imama, who has spent the vast majority of his professional hockey playing career in the AHL, has been suspended again, his sixth suspension since 2021. Imama received a four-game ban from the AHL following a boarding call in a game over the weekend between his Tucson Roadrunners and the San Jose Barracuda. Imama was given a five minute major and booted from the game.

Imama has now served a total of 17 games over the course of six suspensions since 2021. The 26-year-old is a sixth-round pick of the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2015. He's managed four games in the NHL in total since then, all of them with the Arizona Coyotes.
