Temper tantrums are relatively common among children (and some adults when they don’t get their way), but this Canadian junior hockey player’s meltdown is so multifaceted, you simply have to see it for yourself. The incident unfolded after a fight broke up between 17-year-old Ryan Hutchinson and an opponent he was facing-off against on an opposing team.
Hutchinson, who is a defense-man for the Kingston Frontenacs, was checked into the boards by Jake Evans, who plays for the Erie Otters. Considering this surprise move, Hutchinson then began throwing punches. In the end, he was ejected, which was, according to Yahoo! Sports, the catalyst for his subsequent meltdown.

Yahoo! has a description of what unfolded:
First, Hutchinson tried to boot an Otters helmet strewn on the ice into the stands. That turned out to be a total failure, with the helmet causing Hutchinson to slip an land on his rear end on the ice in front of a rabid Erie crowd.
With the embarrassment now setting in, Hutchinson was escorted off the ice, slamming his own helmet to the ice as he trotted off. Still not appeased, the bulky defenseman found a chair and tossed it toward the exit doors, WWE style.
Of course, it was caught on video. Watch it, below:

Mar. 5, 2013 at 3:17pmThis means He sucks at hockey and should not be playing this game for a career and the NHL should get away from these kind of goons.

Mar. 5, 2013 at 2:54pmWhat a baby. Going off on a temper tantrum is accepted in the sport… and he learned on the knee of his mentor most likely. Pull up your big boy pants and be an adult!

But that doesn’t mean that he deserves popularity and attention over it.
C’mon, Blaze, you can do better.

Mar. 5, 2013 at 9:59amDon’t see anything special about this video. Hockey is a contact sport and sometimes when that adrenalin is high, this sort of thing happens. Should he have thrown the chair? No. But hardly newsworthy.

Mar. 5, 2013 at 9:30amThe lad doesn’t have the temperament for the game of hockey, or any other contact sport. The connotation “Plays well with others” probably cannot be found in any of his records. Some one needs to take the lad aside and splain to him what playing with intensity really means. Obviously, if the lad has any hockey talent it is easily nullified by the opposition. Trow da bum out!

Mar. 5, 2013 at 9:21amSeems more of a normal, monofaceted tantrum / release of pent-up anger to me.

Mar. 5, 2013 at 9:12amAnd we wonder where the kiddies watching this crap on TV get their violent tendencies. Now to make hockey worth watching, there should be cops with pepper spray and tazers on the ice instead of zebras. That, I might actually watch.

All he needs is a Hug…..Aren’t hockey players just frustrated LGBT members who haven’t come out of the closet?…….

The kid certainly acted like an idiot, but the statement in the article I quoted above is an exaggeration of this incident.
