i'm by no means a guru, but
 
The standard penalty for major junior hockey participation consists of
3 pieces
 
1)  you lose a year of eligibility (you can only play 3 years)
2)  you may not play your first year in residence (i believe this
    means your 3 years must come during your 2nd 3rd and 4th years
    in attendance but it may mean 3 of your 2nd 3rd 4th and 5th)
3)  in the first year you can play, you must sit out one college game
    for each game you played in.  (here, i'm not certain if the
    standard is that dressing for, warming up with, and being on the
    bench ready to play is counted as participation) hence, there
    would be either a 4 or 5  or   a 15 game holdout
