Junior Hockey Ref Punches Player, Gets Tackled by Team Trainer in Giant Brawl

A brawl at a Canadian hockey game ended in an ugly scene when a referee entangled in the fight took a swing at one of the players involved.

The Daily Caller's David Hookstead reported that the incident occurred at a Canadian Greater Metro Junior A league game between the London Lakers and Kingsville Kings.

In short: People who have no business attacking one another began attacking one another. The turn comes at the 47-second mark of the video when a referee in the center of the screen appears to cuff a player in the mouth. This same official then shoves another player in the facemask after said player attempted to confront him.

Finally, a team trainer came sprinting across the ice and tackled the ref. The video cuts off after the two are separated. We'll update more on this story as information becomes available.
