Beer league hockey, the place where everyone is supposed to get a chance to play, no matter how good (or bad) they happen to be. And, while most of them are just for fun, that doesn't stop emotions from boiling over and stupid things from happening.
In this submitted video, you see two beer-leaguers get into a heated argument. One of them swings his stick at the other's legs, and he gets a two-handed slash to the face from the other player for his effort. The slash to the face has earned the player a five-game suspension.
"Beer League Hero from PEI gets 5 games for wild two hand slash to the head of an opponent.
User submitted video."
To be honest, five games seems light in this instance. That slash was a clear intent to do harm and hurt the other player. A lot of beer leagues would never allow this person to play again.
