Canadian Coaches Tell Mites to Join the Fight
GUELPH, Ont.—Six hockey players and two coaches were suspended following a brawl between two teams of eight-year-olds in Guelph last week that has stunned police.
Three players each from the Duffield Devils and Niagara Falls Thunder novice triple-A teams, and their respective coaches, were ejected from the Guelph Power Play Tournament on Friday after a brawl during a game.
Guelph Police are reviewing videotape of the incident and criminal charges might be laid, Young said.
Police were called to the arena shortly before 6 p.m. Friday. A small fight had broken out between players on the ice and both coaches sent more players from the bench to join in the fracas, Young said.
I think it’s hysterical that the coaches sent the benches. What do they think, they’re coaching a minor league team or something.
And what is up with Canada. They’re a bunch of pacifists that don’t think violence solves anything, except when it comes to hockey. Is this some kind of “Rollerball” thing where they have it just to occupy the masses?
