If a player receives a penalty and continues to argue or swear at the referee, the referee may give the player another 3 minute penalty for unsportsmanlike. The referee needs to inform the player that anymore arguing or abusive type language will result in the player being ejected for the rest of that game. If the incident occurs in the last 5 minutes of the game, then the player will be suspended from playing in his next scheduled game. If this happens in one of the first two games, the player will not be able to play in anymore games that night and these do not count towards the suspension.
