Beer league player violently assaults another player while it’s all caught on camera

Most of us who participate in beer league simply see it as an opportunity to keep playing the game we enjoy. Some athletes still believe that this is their final opportunity to get noticed by NHL scouts, though. They are typically the most hazardous players.

One beer league participant took things to a whole new level of brutality. The player in red hunts out the opposite player during a game and trips him from his feet. He lifts his stick up and repeatedly smacks his opponent in the back before jumping on top of him once the other player is on the ground.

Soo that guy shouldn’t be allowed to play hockey again 🤦🏻‍♂️ [ChrisRam99 r/hockeyplayers] pic.twitter.com/TFoS7GFTqD

The player’s teammates’ lack of reaction is the thing that stands out the most in this video. Nothing is more telling than when a player needs help but no teammates are there to help. Your teammates will always have your back if they respect you in any way. However, if you are in public and nobody stands up for you, that tells everyone all they need to know.

There is no current information on either of the players, but it is obvious that the red player will most certainly be suspended from the league and may even be charged with a crime.

I grew up playing Ball and Roller Hockey day and night somewhat religiously throughout elementary and middle school. The two don't compare though when I lace up the skates and hit the ice. I live and breathe hockey beyond the perspective of "it's just a game" and I will gladly talk hockey for hours with anyone. Hockey is more than just a lifestyle, it's a culture of passionate people who make memories every time the puck is dropped. Hockey has not only helped me get through some of the hardest times in life but has created some of the best memories to date. Want to talk hockey with me? Shoot me an email: iburdetskiy@hookedonhockey.com and let's talk some hockey!
