12 year old slashes and punches ref, has to be restrained by 3 officials

This is atrocious behavior... even for a child. I hope he receives a lifetime suspension.

Shoutout to our friends at Reddit's r/hockey community for serving up some top tier hockey content on the NHL's off week.

Reddit user Towlie_42069 (don't forget a towel!) shared a video of a 12 year old minor hockey player absolutely LOSING IT on a linesman after the linesman pulled him out a potential scrum. It takes 3 officials and a bear hug to finally calm the kid down. But not before some wicked slashes and punches are thrown.

Check it out:


I understand that we're speaking about a literal child here, but I hope that this league administers some tough punishment. This kid should never be allowed to play in this league again.
