Well, i'm beginning to think that the government needs to step in and regulate violence in sports and the violent acts should have enforced/painful repercussions in the crimanal justice system to individuals who cannot use common sense.  In a recent minor (8 year olds) hockey league game in guelph a brawl broke out and the coaches encouraged players on the bench to go on the ice and join in the action.

I watched the vidio of that fight... it was pretty tame actually.  You watch the two little kids fighting and then suddenly they stop and skate away.  The adults hover, are a different story.

I wouldn't have thought he would have been able to skate off the ice.  What a brutal fluke.
