And, because of it, Ontario Provincial Police are investigating...
In the Bantam C league, which had 14 and 15-year-olds skating Saturday, Six Nations and Tweed played on the ice and their supporters went at it off the ice...
Plug your speakers for this one...
Blaine LaForme, president of Six Nations Minor Hockey Association, told Brice McVicar of the Belleville Intelligencer newspaper that the video doesn't really show what happened...
From McVicar:
“What's shown on YouTube is very one-sided,” he said. “The lady doing the filming fails to show the first five or 10 minutes of what escalated to our people going over.”
LaForme said Tweed fans were unruly and had been drinking in the parking lot prior to the afternoon game and harassing gestures and comments were made toward Six Nations players and fans throughout the game.
The provincial police are looking to talk to witnesses and know the tape exists...
More when we know more...
