Hockey Coach Throws Garbage Can Onto Ice, Ref Stops Game Until Coach Cleans It Up

Ref refuses to start game until coach cleans up his garbage

February 15, 2011 – Dr. Rush

I love youth hockey games. You just never know what to expect! I’ve seen parents act up and I’ve seen coaches act up. I’ve seen junk tossed all over the ice. I never saw a ref make a coach clean up his own mess.

There had been two call that were made on the same play. One for boarding and one for cross-checking. The coach, whose team was already losing 4-1, threw a garbage can onto the ice. The refs refused to continue the game until he cleaned up the mess.

I think Mario Lemieux should look into this as a way to handle games he disagrees with in the future. If the NHL won’t discipline like he wants he could always start tossing junk on the ice.

@gerakis100, Agreed. I wish more refs would use this kind of punishment
