Hockey Player Punches Ref In The Face, Is Banned For Life

    First rule of sports: don't punch the ref in the face.

    Brett Cook is a hockey player for Nipissing University in Canada. Or I guess I should say WAS a hockey player for Nipissing University in Canada. He is no longer because recently he punched a ref right in his face.

    According to the YouTube video:

    The incident occurred following a third-period scrap between Cook and a UQTR player. Piche (the linesman) grabbed Cook and attempted to direct him towards the penalty box when another scrum broke out.

    Ontario University Athletics banned Cook for the rest of his hockey career. Watch the video here:
