Basically, too many Jokerit players for me to enjoy this.... But hey, luckily the broadcasting of the national team games is nowadays so fucked up, I don't have to watch these games because I'm not a freaking millionaire who can pay shit load of money for 3 or 4 different channel packages so that I could follow hockey. So fuck Finland and its stupid, greedy Tv channels. I hope you burn in the deepest corner of hell in case such a place exists.

9-year old kids ending their hockey game with a brawl...

So this kids' hockey game in Kazakhstan got a rather unusual end...

(Translation of an article from Aftonbladet. You can see the original text and a video of the fight here.)

40 nine years old in huge brawl

Here the ice transforms into a battleground.

The match was over, teams were shaking hands.

Then a huge fight broke out.

NHL? Eliteserien?

No, 9-years old boys.

This strange, to say the least, scene took place in Kazakhstan, between teams from Burabya and Astana. The game was over, Astana had won 5-3 and the teams were standing at the centre line to thank each other for a good match.

But suddenly emotions burst.

Hot emotions

A player of the victorious Astana said something mocking that got the team Burabay to heat up. One of the Burabay players didn’t hesitate to throw the gloves off when a Astana player challenged him to a fight and suddenly the tumult was a fact.

About 40 hot-blooded 9-years old were in full swing while the judge and adult leaders made ​​their way onto the ice to calm down the atmosphere.

When the dust was settled, the fighters were strangely enough hailed with whistles and applauses from the audience.
