Back when I played rinky dink community level 2 midget hockey or whatever we encountered a similar situation. Well not that similar but for some reason this video reminds me of it. We were winning and the other team was pissy or something. Who knows why, people in Canada get weird with hockey.
Anyway towards the end of the game one of the other teams players gets a penalty and I remember it being for sure warranted. The ref for our game had to be nearing in on 90 years of age or so. Think skeletor on skates. He puts this guy in the box and this player is having basically a temper tantrum. So given there's 30 seconds left and we're up by 3 goals and, what I assume, this old man is tired of listening to this idiot rant and rave, yelling and swearing at him. So, the ref basically just says #### it and calls the game. Blows the whistle points to our bench and says fine they win, whatever.
Wellllllllll. Wouldn't you know. Mini-Antoine Vermette comes storming out of the box and literally launches his stick at this referee!! I swear to god it was insane! As if it was a spear. Just two hand spear throws his stick. The entire rink had jaws dropped. It was hilariously not close. Like it was definitely at him, but missed by a solid few feet.
The moments after that were for pay per view only. Fan fights, police escorts. Just a #### show. Good times in our low-level hockey tier. What a maniac. I bet that guy's in jail now.
