(VIDEO): A referee is violently assaulted by a young prospect.

After an unbelievable display of aggression, one young hockey player has been heavily reprimanded and is facing long term suspension for his acts. The incident in question took place during a BCHL matchup between the Trail Smoke Eaters and the Coquitlam Express. Smoke Eaters forward Charlie Zuccarini, runs into a referee while turning up ice. Zuccarini is short at 5'6 and the ref clearly rattles him. His frustration boils over as he delivers a vicious slash to the official. Zuccarini had recorded 46 points in 37 games prior to the incident. Unfortunately for him, they will his last of the year as he has been suspended the remainder of the season including playoffs. This play was totally uncalled for.
