Ref Attacked In High School Hockey Game

[Youth Hockey Info]

***This happened last season, video just became available***



Video of one of the most bizarre on-ice hockey incidents from last season in a long time. The video comes from Michigan, where a scary scene unfolded back in January during a game between St. Mary’s College and Sault High. During the game, two members of St. Mary’s jumped one of the referees after he removed one of their teammates from a scrum. The players started pummeling the referee in what appeared to be a heinous act. The two players were suspended only two games, which seems a little light, all things considered. Fast forward to this week with the video being released. The video shows that the referee actually took at least one swing at the player he was pulling from the scrum, which led to the attack.

The ref punched the kid first but it doesn't make it right that the team all dog piled after that.

Ref should never work a game again--He's the adult, he lost control

Was there any news on if the ref was given any kind of suspension? He should be fired for striking a minor.

The players were suspended. The ref wasn't.
