In hockey, players can sometimes lose their cool when disagreeing with referees, even in beer leagues or organized pick-up games. With the prevalence of social media, arena cameras, and cell phone cameras, such meltdowns are often captured and shared online, detracting from the fun of the game.
A recent video shows a player throwing a bucket of pucks onto the ice after being ejected from a game. It's never acceptable to throw objects at officials, especially when they're not expecting it, even if the player believes the referees made a mistake. Referees are human, and they're bound to make mistakes.
It's important to remember that hockey is a sport that should be played with good sportsmanship, no matter the level of play. Players must respect officials and their calls, even when they disagree. The player in the video is likely to face suspension for his actions, highlighting the fact that such behavior will not be tolerated in hockey.
