Perturbed Hockey Fan Flashes Bare Ass at Ref to Protest Call

It happened during a recent game in Quebec's semi-pro goon league, the LNAH. Of course it did.

Some (probably) drunk dude was quite unhappy with a call in a minor-league hockey game on Friday and thought, as most rational humans do, that the only logical protest would be to flaunt his bare ass for all to see.

During a Ligue Nord-Américaine de Hockey (LNAH) game between the Laval Predateurs and Riviere-du-Loup, Laval's goaltender immediately protested a goal that, he felt, was batted in with a high stick. His teammates seemed to agree as they waved their sticks in the air, protesting at the referee. As the boos from the crowd dictate, a few more in the stands concurred with the Laval netminder that the goal should not have counted—especially this guy.

Upon climbing the glass to gain a more direct line at the official, the man then delivered one of the most animated fan-to-referee exchanges to be caught on tape in a long time. The glasses first come off, allowing the fan to make as many "blind eyes" comments to the ref as he could before stumbling into the next progression of his tantrum.

After peeling off his jacket and slamming it angrily to the ground, he wrestles with his unzipped pants for what seems like an eternity before finally unleashing his bare ass toward the direction of the referee. Giving his pelvis-cushions several firm two-handed smacks, he finished his tirade atop the glass once again before he could be "restrained" by arena security.

Welcome to the LNAH.

Notoriously known as a goon league, the LNAH is the third version of a Québec semi-pro venture that began in 1996. Initially called the Ligue de hockey semi-professionnelle du Québec (LHSPQ), it built its reputation as a league that endorses fighting by recruiting tough guys and offering pay bonuses for fisticuffs and penalty minutes. As with most hockey leagues across the world, the fighting has decreased in recent years, but you can still expect players to drop the gloves multiple times on any given night.
