Minor League Hockey Linesman Accused Of Causing On-Ice Brawl


Story out of Halifax, Nova Scotia:

A minor hockey coach in Halifax is accusing a game official of taunting his team and later attacking a player during a recent game in P.E.I. that went horribly awry, prompting an RCMP investigation.

Mark Whidden, head coach of the Midget C Chebucto Chill, says he and three of his teenaged players have since been suspended indefinitely, pending completion of the Mounties' probe and a subsequent review by Hockey Nova Scotia.

One of the two linesmen was standing next to the Halifax team's bench when he made a series of sarcastic comments about the team's play, the coach says.

When one player told the linesman to "shut up," Whidden said he knew there would be trouble. Cont.
