Player Loses Control and Knocks Out Referee After Being Ejected From The Game

The player was penalized and potentially ejected, but things escalated when he charged after the referee and delivered a cross-check. Such dangerous behavior should not be tolerated in the sport, and a strong response from the league is necessary.

Hockey should be a place of safety and respect for everyone involved, and actions like this go beyond acceptable intensity. Swift action, such as a lengthy suspension or expulsion, would send a clear message against such behavior.
