The Zamboni does its thing, the next two teams take the ice and are warming up when they are pulled off the ice. The coach of the losing team had appealed (sucessfully I presume) that the player that took the PS was not on the ice and came off the bench to do so. Apparently the players were half undressed when they were told that they were returning.
Game restarts with the PS being taken by the player that was taken down. He scores, and they leave the ice again.
Thought that was the end of it when before our game later in the week I spot the same two teams playing again. Apparently the league made them replay the whole thing. The losing team won.  |
Wow, that's really sad at any level of hockey. Sad that Atom hockey is taken so seriously.
