OK, when I said it was nice to see the Russian juniors celebrating with enthusiasm, I didn't mean this kind of afterparty.
If indeed alcohol was the reason for the rowdiness that got them booted from their flight, the whole lot of them were breaking the law. The legal drinking age in New York is 21. No player was older than 19.
Interesting to note that alcohol abuse, while hardly new in hockey circles, is the reason why some NHL teams now shun Russian players. Think Toronto Maple Leafs.
Seems like the Russian juniors might be following familiar footsteps.
