[quote]Russian ice hockey team Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg were fined £22,600 after one of their fans leapt on to the rink and whacked a visiting player over the head with his own stick.
Towards the end of the first period in Sunday's Continental Hockey League (KHL) play-off game against Salavat Yulayev Ufa, a home fan jumped over protective glass boards, grabbed the stick from reserve Ufa goaltender Vitaly Kolesnik and attacked him.
"I guess I was lucky," said Kolesnik, who suffered a deep cut but escaped a serious injury.
"Doctors who treated me said if the hit was just a centimetre or two to the side, I could have been dead or left paralysed," added the 30-year-old Kazakh, who played for the
Colorado Avalanche in the NHL in 2005-06. The KHL fined the club from the Urals 1 million roubles (£22,600) on Monday for "failing to provide adequate security".
Ufa coach Igor Zakharkin said: "It looked like that mad guy kept hitting our player with a baseball bat. The blood was all over the place. We're still in shock.
"Most of our players didn't feel like playing after what had happened and our foreign players were literally scared but we were told the game must go on. The game didn't seem important anymore. No wonder we lost (4-3)."
Yekaterinburg police said they would press criminal charges against the fan.
The teams were back on the ice 24 hours later, with several hundred police and security personnel inside the arena protecting the players.
Monday's game went without incident, Ufa crushing the home team 8-1 to clinch the series 3-1 and advance to the conference semi-finals.[/quote]

Actually that happens everywhere, if you look at it, they got fined because they pucked up their security.
I was thinking of another stick.
:q:
countries like Russia get way too worked up over hockey

Because if you go to a game, at least here in the US, one of the warnings is if you do stupid shit the home team may be penalized. Thats how it works.
