When I think of Canada I think of the most sportsmanlike and upstanding citizens there could be, that's what South Park tells me anyway. That's why it comes as a little bit of a surprise to see a Canadian youth hockey coach intentionally trip an opposing player in the handshake line. The coach has been arrested and is facing charges in relation to the incident but police are investigating to determine whether the trip was truly intentional.

Is there any need for an investigation to determine whether the trip is truly intentional? When you accidentally trip somebody (which is difficult to do by the way) do you always turn around and point at them while they're on the ground? I only do that when I meant to put the other person on the ground; that's the moment where I point and laugh. I would say the coach is lucky that one of the other kids didn't wind up and smash his face to pieces with his stick because that's what I would have done, although I'm a big supporter of violence in youth sports.

TL;DR A Canadian youth hockey coach has clear anger issues as he trips an opposing player.
