During hockey games it's easy to understand how tempers can flare. It's easy to see how in the heat of the moment that a player can lose his temper. This usually leads to players dropping their gloves and fighting on the ice.

What it usually doesn't lead to is an absolute brawl between two teams of 12-year-olds, but that's what happened this week. Not only do multiple fights break out, but if you watch #27 in white he delivers a violent soccer kick directly to a downed opponent.

After the kick which occurs at the 17 second mark of the video, #27 doesn't let up and begins to deliver multiple ground and pound shots to the downed opponent. The brawl involves most players, but the goaltenders at the top of your screen can be seen just watching the mayhem.

What sort of penalty does #27 deserve for this?
