These Austrian Minor Hockey Players Know How to Brawl (Video)
Brawls at youth hockey games: they’re not just for Canadians. Or Russians. Or Kazakhs. They’re also for Austrians. In fact, the Austrians might do youth hockey brawls best. I’m only judging from one example, of course. But I assume that all Austrian youth hockey brawls are as good as this one from a recent championship [...]

Predators Fans’ Booger-Eating Antics Caught on Live TV (GIF)
A word of advice to all of you sports fans out there. If you want to pick your nose and eat it, that’s cool (okay, it isn’t). But try not to do it at a live sporting event where dozens of cameras are scattered throughout the stadium. Why, you ask? Well the answer is [...]

Islanders’ Matt Martin Knocked the Devils’ Tom Kostopoulos Out Cold (Video)
Personally, I don’t like it when one hockey player challenges another to a fight after the other guy makes a good, clean hit. It’s not that I don’t like hockey fights. I love ‘em, so long as they’re part of the game and not pre-arranged. However, when you fight somebody over a legal check, you [...]

Tuukka Rask Tries to Smash Stick on the Boards After Loss to the Habs, Falls on His Butt (Video)
Without a doubt, the biggest surprise of the abbreviated 2013 NHL season is the Montreal Canadiens. Nobody really knew Chicago would be as good as they are, and the Ducks are somewhat surprising, but with their talent, observers certainly thought they both had a chance to be good. But the Canadiens? They were supposed to [...]

Another day, another incident of violence at a Canadian minor hockey game. Yesterday, of course, we told you about a bunch of classy parents brawling at a Class C Bantam (15 and under) game in rural Ontario. Today’s incident? A line brawl at a Class AA Midget (18 and under) game in PEI. The two [...]

Mr. T Shoots During the Chicago Blackhawks Intermission Contest (Video)
You know what I love about Chicago? Yes, of course the deep dish pizza. But besides that? I love the fact that, if you’re from the Windy City and you ever achieve even the slightest bit of national fame, you are a hero for life. You could wind up practically broke and doing informercials on [...]

Bruins Coach Throws His Earpiece Over the Glass and into a Fan’s Beer (Video)
Seeing as how Geoff Ward is the assistant coach of the Boston Bruins and a former AHL Coach of the Year winner, I’m simply going to assume that the guy is at least a decent hockey player. And after watching last night’s Northeast Division match-up between the Bruins and the Toronto Maple Leafs, I’m also [...]

Colton Orr’s Stat Line vs. Sabres: 29 Penalty Minutes in Two Seconds of Ice Time (Video)
Last night, the Toronto Maple Leafs’ Colton Orr gave us one of the most incredible stat lines in the history of the NHL. The goon scored 0 goals, notched 0 assists, 0 shots, and had 0 hits. However, in just two seconds of ice time, the dude racked up—are you ready for this?—29 minutes in [...]

Martin Brodeur Scores, Becomes All-Time Leader for Goals by a Goalie (Video)
Last night in Raleigh, Devils goalie Martin Brodeur made history. In a 4-1 victory over the Hurricanes, the future Hall of Famer scored the third goal of his career, thus passing Ron Hextal on the list of career goals by a goaltender. And like most goals scored by goaltenders, it was a bizarre play. What [...]

Hockey Puck Breaks in Half Following Goal During Swiss League Game (Videos)
In sports, there are a lot of colorful expressions that aren’t meant to be taken literally. In baseball, for example, you might tell a guy to “go knock the cover off the ball,” while in football you might describe a big hit as having “knocked a guy right out of his cleats.” These are figures [...]

AHL Hockey Player Gets Face Slashed Open By Teammate’s Skate Blade (Video)
Auto racing is probably the most dangerous sport in terms of constant potential for fatal injury. But when it comes to constant potential for gruesome injury, hockey takes the cake. No other sport has quite as many dangerous variables. That’s not to say you won’t see horrific soccer injuries, or horrific football injuries. Obviously, those [...]

Inspirational Video: Youth Hockey Player Helps Teammate with Special Needs Score a Goal (Video)
If you’re in need of a feel-good story to boost your spirits, this one is for you. Every year, hockey teams from all over Canada, the Eastern United States, and even the U.K. converge in Kitchener, Ontario, for the Special Hockey International. This isn’t a competitive tournament, as you probably guessed by the name. It’s [...]

Sergei Kostitsyn’s Inexplicable Line Change is the NHL’s “Worst Play of the Year” (Video)
Earlier in the month, the Nashville Predators decided to experiment with their power-play by moving forward Sergei Kostitsyn to the point on their first power-play unit. They might want to abandon that experiment after watching Kostitsyn inexplicably quit on a play and go off for a line change after the puck bounced over his stick and into [...]

Chicago Wolves and Rockford IceHogs Engage in Epic St. Patty’s Day Hockey Brawl (Video)
You would expect the Chicago Wolves and Rockford IceHogs of the AHL to have a pretty fierce rivalry. For starters, the two teams play their home games about an hour and a half away from each other. On top of that, you have the fact that the IceHogs are the farm team for the beloved [...]

Florida’s Shawn Matthias Scored (Maybe) the Best Goal So Far This Season (Video)
Usually when we praise an athlete’s effort, it’s when they did not actually win. We tell them, “Good job! Good effort!” because we want them to know we appreciate the fact that they didn’t lose because of a lack of will. However, every once in a while you get to praise a guy for his [...]
