I think there is a difference between a violent action with intent to injure and the injury being a coincidence.
There is no way he had intent to injure. I'm sure it'll be investigated and he'll get in trouble but lets not call him the second coming of hitler just yet.
I've seen more violent actions in minor hockey from coaches towards their own players.
Edit: I feel the inevitable pile on coming with comments saying in defending this guy or that I'm a terrible person who condones beating up kids so I'll say that the guy is a classless jerk but if no one was hurt the video probably would have ended up in the funny pics and vids thread.
I feel bad for the kid who got hurt but this wasn't intent to injure. It was a moronic coach who did something stupid. The fact that he's gonna be ostracized and forever remembered for this stupid action is gonna be a pretty harsh punishment on its own.
In fact would it even be news of the kid wasn't hurt?
