The International Ice Hockey Federation reviewed a minor penalty to Reinhart for high-sticking U.S. forward Vince Trocheck in Thursday's semifinal and handed down supplementary discipline Friday after a hearing. The Edmonton Oil Kings defenceman will miss Saturday's bronze-medal game against Russia. Reinhart must serve the remaining three games at his next IIHF event, which would be the next world junior championship. Hockey Canada is appealing the suspension believed to be the longest in the tournament's history. Reinhart, 18, is eligible to play for Canada again in 2014. The Canadian team will want his experience in their lineup in Malmo, Sweden. What's more, should Reinhart play for the NHL's New York Islanders next season, the Islanders might not want to make Reinhart available to the Canadian team if he has to sit out three games. "Especially playing against Russia tomorrow, I wanted to be a part of that game, the last game of the tournament, so it's really devastating for me," Reinhart said Friday after practice at Ufa Arena. "That leads into next year too if I get the opportunity to play. I'd be a big part of next year's team hopefully and to be out for some of that as well, that's definitely a big loss."
