Referee reams out player in Norwegian league: 'It's not junior hockey anymore!' (w/video)

It's not often you see a hockey referee really tell a player off during a game. Swedish referee Marcus Vinnerborg had apparently had enough, though during a playoff game in the GET League in Norway. According to reports, 21-year-old Håvard Salsten of Sparta Sarpsborg had been agitating members of Stavanger all night. Salsten was the third man in when a scuffle broke out between two other players, and Vinnerborg lost his patience. He started yelling at Salsten in Danish. Here's the translation:

While Salsten avoided a match penalty, five other players in the game were sent to the showers early with game misconducts.
