Hockey is an incredibly emotional game. Players have times of intense joy, and intense rage, but most know how to control their anger by the time they reach the professional level.
This was not the case for a player in the KHL, Russia's top league. When angered, he hand-chopped a referee and kicked him once he was down on the ground.
-
We now know that the police were called to investigate the situation.
-
It is never okay for a player to hurt anybody like this, and hopefully he will receive a fair punishment.
