The Infamous Hockey Brawl: A Tale of Unwise Decision-Making
When it comes to senior amateur hockey, emotions can run high. However, what transpired recently takes the cake. A fan’s reckless pursuit of a confrontation with a player has left us all scratching our heads.
A Recipe for Disaster
Let’s set the scene: a heated game, a player getting kicked out, and a fan deciding to follow him down the hallway, egging him on for a fight. You don’t need to be a genius to predict the outcome. The player, Justin Pender, had every right to be enraged, and when pushed to the limit, he delivered a beating to the fan.
A Case of Misplaced Blame
Now, the town of Harbour Grace is considering banning Pender from playing in their rink again. Are they kidding? The real culprits here are the fans who provoked the situation. If the town wants to ensure fan safety, perhaps they should focus on educating their spectators on how not to behave like fools.
The Pender Flu: An Overreaction
Banning Pender from the rink seems like an excessive reaction. A slap on the wrist from the league might be warranted, but this move reeks of an overreaction. It’s almost as if the CeeBee Stars are trying to cover their own backsides.
A Slap on the Wrist
In the grand scheme of things, this incident boils down to two individuals settling their differences. No lasting harm was done, and it’s time to move on. Let’s hope this doesn’t affect Pender’s eligibility with the Big Deal Selects. After all, a player’s gotta do what a player’s gotta do.
