Linesman punched, teen player charged

Kids in their final year of minor hockey can create the biggest headaches for officials, coaches and opposing players.
An altercation at a midget house league tournament in Barrie, ON, did just that. The fact that the air was blue and punches were thrown was nothing new for teenage hockey. The fact that it was a linesman's face fielding the flailing torqued the situation.
A 17-year-old player left the ice - and the arena - before police arrived. They found him and charged him with assault.
The Barrie Examiner has the story.
