Ross, a winger with the IceHogs, continued to play for the IceHogs after he was charged. He has played in 59 games and has seven goals and 13 assists, but he has not played in the team's last two games. Ross, whom the Hawks drafted in the fifth round of the NHL draft in 2012, never has played a game for the Hawks and is a restricted free agent after the season. IceHogs coach Ted Dent said Ross was excused from practice for "personal reasons," according to WREX in Rockford.
