Burnaby Beer Leaguer Kicks Opponent in the Face with his Skate On (VIDEO)
A video out of Burnaby, BC shows a classic beer-league brawl with the refs struggling to break it up. About halfway through the video, one participant (Person A) seems to exit the dogpile, keeled over & visibly experiencing some pain. After a second watch, it was obvious that another participant (Person B) kicked Person A in the head/neck area, skate still fully equipped. A cardinal sin of hockey, kicking someone in any capacity with a skate on is grounds for a lengthy suspension. Kicking someone in the HEAD with a skate one...well, in my opinion, that is entering 'jail-time' territory, not to mention an absolute ban from the sport. You be the judge:
Where I come from, that is assault. Plain & simple. I've not been able to find a reliable update on Person A's condition, but I am hoping his injuries were not overly serious. Person B, however, has been identified, although we won't name names here.
Apparently, Person B owns a real estate business in the area. The reviews are what you might expect:
