The Easter Cup is an international hockey tournament that is held in Czech Republic each year. The tournament consists of youth and junior hockey teams from 21 different countries, and this year’s U16 tournament was the craziest one of them all.
In the bronze medal game between Slovakia’s 11 Kosice and Belarus’ HC Brest, things got very out of hand at the end of the game.
HC Brest ended up losing the game and did not like the way the referees called the game. As one player approached the referee to shake his hand and exchange a few choice words with the official, another player completely lost it and jumped in. That’s when the chaos started.
Once the first punch was thrown every player from both teams got involved and it went on for a few minutes. Two of the players who had an issue with the referee chased him to the other side of the rink, where a few shots were thrown.
We’ve seen brawls break out and players attack referees in all sorts of sports, but this one has to be the craziest brawl we have ever come across. Especially since this was an U16 game.
