You did the right thing. It’s not your fault the kid got banned, you just posted a video. Don’t feel bad. Like you said, actions have consequences. Kids gotta learn he can’t be doing things like that.
Like my comment above...where did you get the "lifetime ban" from? The USAH hockey investigation is pending and ongoing. What official sources have confirmed what you've claimed in this video because I have found none. I don't blame you for posting the video...what happened happened. But posting your outrage along with "lifetime ban" while ignoring that this is not an unprecedented issue is fueling the social media mob, most of whom know nothing about hockey or its penalties.
I seriously doubt this kid received or will receive a lifetime ban. Do you have a link to the ruling? I’m willing to bet he will be playing hockey next season. The governing board is very soft of most youth issues and generally allow forgiveness, unless there is a lengthy history of suspensions.
We play for one of the organizations involved. A lifetime ban was going to happen regardless of you posting. It was on Live Barn for review, no one in CAHA would let that behavior go unpunished.
Nah man. You did the right thing. Like you said, at that age, you know better. You lose privileges when acting in such a disgusting manner, and there are consequences to your actions.
If you didn't post it, someone else would have. I believe you did the right thing. You have a platform and a forum to do the right thing and you did what was needed!
I just wanted to say. Your video DID NOT get that kid banned. His actions got him banned and charges placed. It was 100% him. Even if your vid did not surface the parents and coaches would still have taken this to the association and police. That kid made a BAD choice and will now have to live with it, and is my hope he learns from it and tones down any aggression in the future and not just in hockey but life. Keep posting you vids man..
You did the right thing. I am on the same HS hockey team as Xander Keenan and you posing the video on multiple social media platforms I feel like did not have a big impact on what the other kid is going through with the assault charge and other things. Obviously no one on the team expected this to become a viral topic. I want to say thank you for bringing an issue that should have never been a reality up and talking about it. It was completely unacceptable.
This said. I think posting the video is questionable. Can't see faces, and no names, but the area is narrowed down. Internet people are nuts. But so is kicking someone with skates on. I actually am a little worried for the kickers safety. Still, what a dick move
You did the right thing. It's a painful situation all the way around and I think everyone with a conscience feels bad on multiple levels, but the behavior is so dangerous and so unacceptable that it has to be punished.
I never comment on youtube videos unless it's someone I know. But I gotta say, watching this video.. you absolutely did the right thing in posting it. I couldn't believe what I was watching. If I hadn't seen it, I wouldn't have believed it. That kid is absolutely lucky he didn't cut the neck of the player he was kicking, or do more damage with his kicks. That third kick in particular didn't look like he kicked with the toe of his boot, but rather the blade which is just.. incredibly f'ing reckless. Second, I'm sure the player that did the kicking felt bad about it the second he got off the ice, but the lifetime ban is absolutely 100% the right call. You shouldn't feel bad at all. If that kid didn't receive a lifetime ban for that, then I just don't know what. And the people sending this kid and his team death threats.. like, f'ing grow up. His actions don't nullify your actions or justify your reaction. He's facing the consequences. I'm glad the player on the ice is okay, and it's even crazier knowing the context that it was a 5 on 3 and this player did that to another player, down on the ice. I still can't believe it. This vid is especially better than just the short. I love it. I think you did fine with posting it.
Definitely glad you posted it. This kind of act needs to be seen to be believed and seen to be understood that what happened is never acceptable. Banned from minor hockey is enough. When he's an adult and playing beer league, he can figure out the right way and wrong way to do things. All i can think is, if the kid's neck gets cut from that skate, we wouldnt think a ban is too much.
Totally worth the ban. You cannot allow this behavior in a sport with blades on your feet. Next time someone may think twice as they know that a ban is the set precedent. This could have been much much worse. Lucky for both kids that nothing more seriously happened.
he shoulda gotten arrested in my opinion, and maybe put in some psych ward, no normal person with a contained temper would try to kill a kid for grabbing his stick
It's not your fault that his actions went viral... it eventually would've. Like you said: kicking in hockey is %100, a no-no. Kid deserves everything coming his way.
Kids and or people in general need to learn there's consequence for their actions. You did Right things for awareness. Is can be a good learning tool for others in the future!! It was wild seeing this happing. I showed my boys ages 14 and 12 and they were in disbelieve. Thanks for the post!!
Hell yes it was a good thing you posted it. Someone is leaning a lesson and haven't kicker anyone yet. May just save someone else from injury and another ban on a young man. Definitely needed to post. I hadn't seen until you did.
It's good that you put it out. It's holding that rink, league, and player accountable and making sure the player never gets on the ice again. This player ignored "the code" which not only means he's dangerous, but that EVERYONE he plays against is going to want to take his head off.
bruhhhh, do NOT feel bad. kicking someone in the head while they're down in any capacity is a big NO. good on you for posting the video, and it gaining traction and awareness. and hopefully that goof has learned his lesson and he doesn't do any stupid shiet like that ever again. as for the team and him receiving death threats, obvs a shitty thing for people to do, buuuuuut like you said, every action has a consequence.
Way back in the "dark ages" of the 1970's, I had seasons tickets for a junior hockey team called the New Westminster Bruins. They were known as the "Big Bad Bruins" and they lived up to their names. In 5 years of watching them, I saw hundreds of 1 on 1 fights, at least 2 dozen line brawls and probably 8 or so major brawls that included multiples of fights going on at the same time. Of course, it was the seventies and that's the way hockey was then, if there wasn't a fight in a game it was a rare aberation. During those years, they won the league championship 4 straight years and went to the Memorial Cup Final 4 straight years, losing the first 2 but winning the next 2. At the time, we loved every minute of it but, looking back, it was pretty damn barbaric that they allowed that and much worse over the years. There was a Bruin called Boris Fistric who was their main goon, that in a brawl against the Victoria Cougars I think it was, had a player down on the ice with his head between Fistrics knees and Boris was bouncing up and down bashing his head into the ice. That was undoubtedly the worst thing I ever saw any player do to another one intentionally.
Im so happy the kid is okay. So scary. I hope the kid who did the kicking learns his lesson and moves on. Maybe hockey’s not his thing. Maybe he needs a break and comes back when he matures
Learns? Ya know some kids in Juvie locked up for killing som1and get out at legal age and does it again im not saying the kid cant mature but for what he basically did it looked like he was about to stomp him with the skate blade across the neck in the 3rd attempt luckily he missed, then got tackled I'd ban him from any type of ice hockey again that is very dangerous no1 does that.
сovering up a crime is complicity in a crime. so you did everything right. that guy got a life lesson: always think about affects of your actions before doing those actions
Who knows what this guy would do if he got away with this. You did the right thing. Too many associations would hide this type of violence. GOOD THING WE HAVE PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO WILL PUT IT OUT THERE AND MAKE US AWARE...
Good thing that it was put out there. If he acts like that at this age and is not stopped, he only gets worse. Even if it was only the emotion, that kid needs to understand humans cannot act like that...ever.
I really appreciate how you open this up for discussion whether it was good or bad that you posted that video. It’s the kind of personal responsibility we all should take when posting anything on social media whether it’s comments or tweets or videos etc…. This is still a very new experiment and we should all be questioning how our presence on social media affects our real lives and others’.
I got a boy playing goalie and another that's probably going to be a defenseman. 12U and 8U respectively. I think this may have blown up a little too much, kids are kids and even the adult kids we watch on TV do stupid things, too, almost as egregious at times. But something definitely needed to be done and I appreciate you putting this out, will definitely show to my kids as an example of what happens when a player loses his head in the moment - and the consequences that follow.
Boys it would’ve gotten out one way or another. These types of things always come to light, and I guarantee he would’ve been facing charges regardless of the virality of the video.
A bad body hit i could understand. A bad stick to the head i could understand. Emotions run high in a fast paced game. However kicking is absolutely inexcusable, and he did it multiple times, it was intentional to cause damage to a crazy level. This kid will learn the hard way the consequences to his actions. Don't feel bad. Videos like this will remind new players of any age that there is a hard line that you do not cross.
@Alexis Roy Still no excuse for kicking with skates on. I don't care how much shit was talked, kid should have known better and keep his emotions in check.
@Alexis Roy Exactly. It is dangerous. The player who kicked should not have done that. If their stick was being grabbed, it's an interference penalty on the grabber and that's where it should have ended.
@Alexis Roy you have to look at what a ban for life really means. He's not actually banned from anything except high school competitive hockey. The organization banning him cannot do anything outside of their circle. High school for this kid is over soon in the big picture anyway. Plenty of places to play.
Absolutely you did the right thing. I’m sure most of us feel sort of bad he can’t play anymore, but I wouldn’t want him on my kids team nor play against him. Solid move sir
I think you have done the right thing ,you have brought it to attention this is not something you do in hockey and the kid will be dealt with his own consequences,I’m sure that kid has now big regrets in his action for the rest of his life Olie you done right think We are here for your support OTB RUDDSY
I think it was even better that it came from you guys. Sends a loud message that even though you guys like to goof about, that we cant tolerate stuff like this
The video is crazy!!but don't carry the guilt.you can't control what people do.. it's a good thing you shared it for the world too see.. think of the people you're helping. Hold your head high
Never seen kicking like that. Now that you’ve put it out there, hockey players know the consequences: lifetime ban and assault charges. You did the right thing.
@@drexxler138 He's effectively banned for life. I doubt the school is gonna let him play, he'd have to move and assume the new school doesn't look him up, and I really doubt that there are scouters looking for "kicks player in head while down and pulls assault charges."
@@drexxler138 He probably got a permanent ban from that particular league. Leagues around the world don't all communicate or enforce each other's bans. This kid will definitely be playing hockey again soon, where he'll very likely do something similar.
@@pookie2986 Dude, there's endless places this kid can play hockey that are outside of pro and semi pro hockey that have no scouts or recruiting. Sure, he probably can't play professional hockey in the future, but he wasn't going to anyway.
I think you did the right thing, and I’ll explain why I’m my opinion. There are 2 main reasons I see this as a good thing, 1) regardless of if you posted it or not, someone would have, it’s something that is so outrageous that it has absolutely no place in the sport, people should spread awareness of moments like this. 2) by sharing this you can spread awareness to things like this, I’m not saying that we should share every little thing that happens, but things as significant as this need to be shared so people can know that while we all make jokes, like barber makes some jokes about hitting refs or hitting people like it was other sports, we need to remember it’s just jokes and we play a sport where we have sharp blades attached to our feet that could cause people serious damage. I really hope that the kid who was kicked is okay, and I also really hope the kid who did the kicking will learn and grow from his mistakes and can become a better human.
The kid shouldn’t have been punished but if I was out there I would have lost my crap on the guy kicking. Edit: I’m not sure if the kid got punished or not
Oli u did the right thing. A kid that reacts that way to another player grabbing his stick because he is falling. That is a natural thing to reach for something when you are falling.
You boys did good, like you said actions have consequences especially at that age, more importantly on and off the ice. Also that’s not sportsmanship or leadership behavior, no place for type of action in any sport.
Nope you did the right thing, actions have consequences. As a coach i was involved in a kicking incident very similar to this. The most embarrassing thing about its was how the parents justified the actions of their daughter. Yes I said "daughter", it was a girls game. As the coach I did not want the player back but the state and our organization had a different opinion. Actions have consequences and if we get away from that what are we really doing?
Here’s the problem this guy is pretty popular on RUclips and even then I actually have gone so far on here that if I were to post that I’d get probably a few thousand views at most then it would fade into obscurity. Making content on RUclips is a lot harder than it looks
100% right thing. There’s hockey plays that turn into scrums or fights and then this. This is a deliberate act of violence that absolutely warrants a ban from the league and to be reviewed. Kicking someone with what can be compared to a steel toe boot with a blade on the bottom is outright dangerous and could possibly have killed him. The attacker needs to learn there r consequences and I rly hope that everyone that has seen this can take a lesson from this that actions have consequences and what not to do not just in hockey but in general.
As someone whose worked with kids for quite a few years, his actions are his own responsibility. HE made the decision to kick someone in the head while wearing skates and not you. He deserves to be banned because he's proven he's a danger to others and he also deserves those assault charges because of how dangerous those actions were. I'm perfectly aware that there is much more physical agression in hockey than in most other team sports, but there are still hard limits on what you can do for a reason.
You absolutely did the right thing!! He chose to get up and kick that other player.. as you said.. actions have consequences!! Keep doin what your doin!!! Love you guys!!!
Stuff like this needs to come to light, always, and be dealt with. Right thing. I also hate to see a kid banned - it means he doesn't get a second chance to learn from his error - at the same time, his actions were at a level that could easily have caused very serious injury.
You definitely did the right thing. We know what happened with the Teddy Balkind accident last year. What if the kid caught the other player with his blade? He definitely should learn early that his actions have consequences before it’s too late. Thanks for sharing Olly!
5 on 3, 4 on 4, even strength, warmups; there no excuse for those actions no matter the situation. Sounds like the correct actions are being taken. Lets all realize its our responsibility to coach these kids, either on or off the ice, how to be good human beings.
TBH I'm not a fan of hyperbolic YT comment sections where people clutch their pearls & act like they're horrified by largely benign events.....but this isn't one of those sections. This video was legit disturbing & I can't explain how relieved I am to know the kid on the ice is alright. Kicking someone w/your skates on is not something where you can say "Ah he's just a kid who made a mistake". Teenagers are emotional, I get that. And I can understand throwing a punch, slashing an opponent in the back of the leg, hell maybe even spearing someone in the nuts. But this was so unbelievably dangerous, reckless & uncalled for. I mean one wrong move & this could have gone from a RUclips video to a LiveLeak video VERY easily. Bottom line, I'm glad the victim is OK, I'm glad the perpetrator didn't ruin his life by killing an opponent in a fit of rage & I'm glad the victim has teammates who raced to stick up for him immediately. This should be a teaching moment for all coaches & parents.
As someone who played youth hockey in Colorado I’m not surprised a Littleton team was involved in this. They had an incident with a coach a few years ago too
I’m Xanders aunt and video posted or not the kids was being banned and charges were being pressed. Maybe just maybe people seeing this from any sport will finally realize that they need to make better choices.
Never feel like posting the video was a bad thing. Actions have consequences like you said, and kicking someone with skates on is obviously an incredibly stupid decision, no matter how heated the guy was. You might have even saved someone else from getting hurt by this goon in the future. Good riddance to him, and great video!
You did the right thing. Simply because there is no place for kicking at a helpless player if that skate hit his face then it could have been worse. But this is the right thing.
Don't feel bad Buddy!! If You didn't post it someone else would have... The Kid was wrong not You!! & Also if it didn't get the recognition it got, the shit may have flew completely under the radar & someone else could've gotten SERIOUSLY Injured next!! Love the content keep it coming Bud!!
Don't beat yourself up over it Olly. The fact that he did what he did was enough. If it wasn't shared now, it could have happened again in the future with worse consequences
I used to play very dirty hockey in the '70s but never have I kicked a player. I got banned for life for fighting with a Ref. But That video should of not been posted on any social media. Oh and also YES for Banned for life.
In Canada, it's rule 7.1,C, iii. The Referee can call a Match Penalty for an attempt to injure. Deliberately kicking or attempting to kick opponent. It up to the league after that if suspension is going to be issued.
I truly like to think that, even without your sharing it, that this young man would’ve still been held accountable for his actions. Somebody recorded it, and it sounds like there is at least maybe 25 people in the rink; I sure as Hell hope others were looking into it even without the internet hype.
The kids that tackled him is a hero. Saved a life.
To be honest. I don’t think it would save his life. The refs or players would have saw it.
@@Kingkion1 it might have if no one had tried to save him fast enough he could take some more fatal blows
@@niconeedsanap8130 your right
Absolutely agree.

As a coach and father of a youth player, that video was one of the most unbelievable pieces of content I have seen. Thanks for putting it out there.

Way back in the "dark ages" of the 1970's, I had seasons tickets for a junior hockey team called the New Westminster Bruins. They were known as the "Big Bad Bruins" and they lived up to their names. In 5 years of watching them, I saw hundreds of 1 on 1 fights, at least 2 dozen line brawls and probably 8 or so major brawls that included multiples of fights going on at the same time. Of course, it was the seventies and that's the way hockey was then, if there wasn't a fight in a game it was a rare aberation. During those years, they won the league championship 4 straight years and went to the Memorial Cup Final 4 straight years, losing the first 2 but winning the next 2.

A bad body hit i could understand. A bad stick to the head i could understand. Emotions run high in a fast paced game. However kicking is absolutely inexcusable, and he did it multiple times, it was intentional to cause damage to a crazy level. This kid will learn the hard way the consequences to his actions. Don't feel bad. Videos like this will remind new players of any age that there is a hard line that you do not cross.
@Alexis Roy Still no excuse for kicking with skates on. I don't care how much shit was talked, kid should have known better and keep his emotions in check.
@Alexis Roy then let the ref issue an interference penalty. The player doesn't get to retaliate.
@Alexis Roy Exactly. It is dangerous. The player who kicked should not have done that. If their stick was being grabbed, it's an interference penalty on the grabber and that's where it should have ended.
@Alexis Roy you have to look at what a ban for life really means. He's not actually banned from anything except high school competitive hockey. The organization banning him cannot do anything outside of their circle. High school for this kid is over soon in the big picture anyway. Plenty of places to play.
Absolutely you did the right thing. I’m sure most of us feel sort of bad he can’t play anymore, but I wouldn’t want him on my kids team nor play against him. Solid move sir
Thanks for posting. It was a good thing you posted. Do not feel bad...because he would have behaved the same way again.
Absolutely, should have been posted.
That kid doesn't need to be on the ice could've been a hell of a lot worse you guys are bad asses keep doing your thing from denver, colorado
I think you have done the right thing ,you have brought it to attention this is not something you do in hockey and the kid will be dealt with his own consequences,I’m sure that kid has now big regrets in his action for the rest of his life
Olie you done right think
We are here for your support OTB
RUDDSY
Yeah, good on you for bringing attention to it. Keep it cool people.
you did the right thing boss. who knows what else this kid is capable of if you never spread the word.
I think it was even better that it came from you guys. Sends a loud message that even though you guys like to goof about, that we cant tolerate stuff like this
The video is crazy!!but don't carry the guilt.you can't control what people do.. it's a good thing you shared it for the world too see.. think of the people you're helping. Hold your head high
That kid is 15 omg.....but you did the right thing 👋😚
Definitely the right ring to do, no matter your age kicking a player (or anyone) whilst they are down is just a cowards way... deserves the ban.
You did the right thing, that was completely unacceptable what he did.
good job posting it it's good that people know about it. also W teammate who rocked that kid for kicking him.
You did the right thing olly. Don't worry, about if you messed up, which you didn't. It's all good 👍
Thank you !!
Never seen kicking like that. Now that you’ve put it out there, hockey players know the consequences: lifetime ban and assault charges.
You did the right thing.
Yep, you wanna kick someone while you’re wearing skates? You don’t get the privilege to play hockey ever again.
Hold up! Do you have a link to the ruling ? I seriously doubt this kid received a lifetime ban.
@@drexxler138 He's effectively banned for life. I doubt the school is gonna let him play, he'd have to move and assume the new school doesn't look him up, and I really doubt that there are scouters looking for "kicks player in head while down and pulls assault charges."
@@drexxler138 He probably got a permanent ban from that particular league. Leagues around the world don't all communicate or enforce each other's bans. This kid will definitely be playing hockey again soon, where he'll very likely do something similar.
@@pookie2986 Dude, there's endless places this kid can play hockey that are outside of pro and semi pro hockey that have no scouts or recruiting. Sure, he probably can't play professional hockey in the future, but he wasn't going to anyway.
I think you did the right thing, and I’ll explain why I’m my opinion. There are 2 main reasons I see this as a good thing, 1) regardless of if you posted it or not, someone would have, it’s something that is so outrageous that it has absolutely no place in the sport, people should spread awareness of moments like this. 2) by sharing this you can spread awareness to things like this, I’m not saying that we should share every little thing that happens, but things as significant as this need to be shared so people can know that while we all make jokes, like barber makes some jokes about hitting refs or hitting people like it was other sports, we need to remember it’s just jokes and we play a sport where we have sharp blades attached to our feet that could cause people serious damage. I really hope that the kid who was kicked is okay, and I also really hope the kid who did the kicking will learn and grow from his mistakes and can become a better human.
And, frankly, the kid who tackled the attacker better not have been punished. He was saving a life.
He wasnt, game was cancelled after that
The kid shouldn’t have been punished but if I was out there I would have lost my crap on the guy kicking.
Edit: I’m not sure if the kid got punished or not
You did the right thing. No place for this ever.
If you saved one other kid from the same fate then it was totally worth it. No vigilante justice tho boys, let the law handle it.
Oli u did the right thing. A kid that reacts that way to another player grabbing his stick because he is falling. That is a natural thing to reach for something when you are falling.
You boys did good, like you said actions have consequences especially at that age, more importantly on and off the ice. Also that’s not sportsmanship or leadership behavior, no place for type of action in any sport.
Don't feel bad, if somebody does something where they could be seriously hurt, they deserve those concequences.
Nope you did the right thing, actions have consequences. As a coach i was involved in a kicking incident very similar to this. The most embarrassing thing about its was how the parents justified the actions of their daughter. Yes I said "daughter", it was a girls game. As the coach I did not want the player back but the state and our organization had a different opinion. Actions have consequences and if we get away from that what are we really doing?
The video was out multiple places prior to your post, there were charges being brought up regardless of your post
U did the right thing. If u didn't post it someone else would of. He'll definitely learn his lesson
Here’s the problem this guy is pretty popular on RUclips and even then I actually have gone so far on here that if I were to post that I’d get probably a few thousand views at most then it would fade into obscurity. Making content on RUclips is a lot harder than it looks
Holy hell this is terrifying. Not only does he need to be banned charged , but also sent to extreme therepy.
100% right thing. There’s hockey plays that turn into scrums or fights and then this. This is a deliberate act of violence that absolutely warrants a ban from the league and to be reviewed. Kicking someone with what can be compared to a steel toe boot with a blade on the bottom is outright dangerous and could possibly have killed him. The attacker needs to learn there r consequences and I rly hope that everyone that has seen this can take a lesson from this that actions have consequences and what not to do not just in hockey but in general.
As someone whose worked with kids for quite a few years, his actions are his own responsibility. HE made the decision to kick someone in the head while wearing skates and not you. He deserves to be banned because he's proven he's a danger to others and he also deserves those assault charges because of how dangerous those actions were. I'm perfectly aware that there is much more physical agression in hockey than in most other team sports, but there are still hard limits on what you can do for a reason.
You absolutely did the right thing!! He chose to get up and kick that other player.. as you said.. actions have consequences!! Keep doin what your doin!!! Love you guys!!!
Stuff like this needs to come to light, always, and be dealt with. Right thing. I also hate to see a kid banned - it means he doesn't get a second chance to learn from his error - at the same time, his actions were at a level that could easily have caused very serious injury.
U 1000% did the right thing! Dudes like this don’t deserve to be in the game!
You absolutely did the right thing.
You definitely did the right thing. We know what happened with the Teddy Balkind accident last year. What if the kid caught the other player with his blade? He definitely should learn early that his actions have consequences before it’s too late. Thanks for sharing Olly!
yess i was searching so long for this video
5 on 3, 4 on 4, even strength, warmups; there no excuse for those actions no matter the situation. Sounds like the correct actions are being taken. Lets all realize its our responsibility to coach these kids, either on or off the ice, how to be good human beings.
TBH I'm not a fan of hyperbolic YT comment sections where people clutch their pearls & act like they're horrified by largely benign events.....but this isn't one of those sections. This video was legit disturbing & I can't explain how relieved I am to know the kid on the ice is alright.
Kicking someone w/your skates on is not something where you can say "Ah he's just a kid who made a mistake". Teenagers are emotional, I get that. And I can understand throwing a punch, slashing an opponent in the back of the leg, hell maybe even spearing someone in the nuts. But this was so unbelievably dangerous, reckless & uncalled for. I mean one wrong move & this could have gone from a RUclips video to a LiveLeak video VERY easily.
Bottom line, I'm glad the victim is OK, I'm glad the perpetrator didn't ruin his life by killing an opponent in a fit of rage & I'm glad the victim has teammates who raced to stick up for him immediately. This should be a teaching moment for all coaches & parents.
As someone who played youth hockey in Colorado I’m not surprised a Littleton team was involved in this. They had an incident with a coach a few years ago too
On a separate issue, Are those new chiclets? The pearly whites are poppin’! Needed a new grill after taking a Jacob high stick?
You did the right thing. If you hadn’t of posted it, someone else would’ve. You have a platform where most people don’t.
I’m Xanders aunt and video posted or not the kids was being banned and charges were being pressed. Maybe just maybe people seeing this from any sport will finally realize that they need to make better choices.
Respect to the kid who tackled him, always stick up for your teammates
You did a good thing, that young man has some boundaries issues and doesn't belong in contact sports. Don't feel too bad,
Don't feel bad, just move on, and don't dwell.
Just the way she goes boys.
Don’t feel bad, the kid got what was coming to him for such a horrible and malicious act.
did the right thing man dont worry
people with anger issues like that shouldnt be on the rink could seriously hurt or kill someone so really you saved some ones life !!
I believe most thought this wouldn’t/couldn’t happen. I believe knowing it could happen with hopefully stop it from happening again
I live in Colorado and was in this tournament when it happened. This is CRAZY that he got this upset!
I think you did the right thing. If you don’t want death threats don’t try to hurt people.
I played that team, 80 game suspension and assault with a deadly weapon charge
Never feel like posting the video was a bad thing. Actions have consequences like you said, and kicking someone with skates on is obviously an incredibly stupid decision, no matter how heated the guy was. You might have even saved someone else from getting hurt by this goon in the future. Good riddance to him, and great video!
You did the right thing. Simply because there is no place for kicking at a helpless player if that skate hit his face then it could have been worse. But this is the right thing.
Don't feel bad Buddy!! If You didn't post it someone else would have... The Kid was wrong not You!! & Also if it didn't get the recognition it got, the shit may have flew completely under the radar & someone else could've gotten SERIOUSLY Injured next!! Love the content keep it coming Bud!!
Don't beat yourself up over it Olly. The fact that he did what he did was enough. If it wasn't shared now, it could have happened again in the future with worse consequences
I used to play very dirty hockey in the '70s but never have I kicked a player. I got banned for life for fighting with a Ref. But That video should of not been posted on any social media. Oh and also YES for Banned for life.
In Canada, it's rule 7.1,C, iii. The Referee can call a Match Penalty for an attempt to injure. Deliberately kicking or attempting to kick opponent. It up to the league after that if suspension is going to be issued.
I truly like to think that, even without your sharing it, that this young man would’ve still been held accountable for his actions.
Somebody recorded it, and it sounds like there is at least maybe 25 people in the rink; I sure as Hell hope others were looking into it even without the internet hype.
Best thing to post it
