Video Shows Hockey Players With Beers After Game – 9 & 10-Year-Old Hockey Players!

Unfortunately, the YouTube video that has now apparently got an assistant coach suspended is gone, but the memories will likely linger for years. For whatever reason, the coach decided it would be fun (or maybe funny) to capture on film his young players posing with open beer cans and bottles in the locker room following a big game. It may all have been done as a joke, but apparently no one–including most of the parents, eh?–is laughing now.

Okay, except maybe you reading this right now and wishing we could still see the video.

A YouTube video that surfaced recently — and has since been removed from the popular website — depicts nine and 10-year-old hockey players posing for the camera with open bottles and cans of beer.  “Here we are in the locker room, young men just having a beer,” says the cameraman. “Look at that. Love it . . . the boys are enjoying a fine beer after a hard game.”

Members of the Sask-Can 2000 atom hockey team grin and brandish open bottles and cans of Coors Light. None are actually shown drinking. The video posted to YouTube, and uncovered Thursday by CKOM radio, shows a number of the boys in the locker room being told to pose with open beers. Images from the video appeared on the blog of the executive producer of John Gormley’s radio show, Tammy Robert, and the video was subsequently removed from YouTube. It was shot several weeks ago at a tournament in Humboldt.

Lorrie Heggie, the head of the Sask-Can league, said he has been dealing with the fallout from the video since he heard about it two weeks ago. A friend of his called him and sent him a copy. “This just breaks my heart,” he said. “It’s not what Sask-Can is all about.”

High School Lacrosse Players Suspended After Posting Boozing Pictures on Facebook

According to Ward Melville High School (NY) senior Emma “Ms. Obvious 2010″ Bloch, “everyone in high school drinks.” Maybe, but not everyone is dumb enough to post pictures of their underage boozing activity on Facebook for the world to see, especially if it’s pretty much the entire lacrosse team.  That, even in an era where everyone is drunk every day at school, will get you suspended from the team. Not because you were drinking, but because you were stupid enough to post those pics online. We expect the drinking, but you kids these days with your video games, cellular phones and sexting should really know better. Claims one senior Teddy “The Valedictorian” Ouwerkerk: “I guess Facebook isn’t the most private after all.”

No, really?

Fifteen high school lacrosse players learned the hard way to be careful what you display on Facebook.
The players from Ward Melville High School posted photos of a night of drinking, classmates said. Ward Melville school district officials apparently saw those photos and promptly suspended the fifteen players for today’s home game against Smithtown. “It’s not the biggest deal,” said Ward Melville senior Emma Bloch. “Everyone in high school drinks. They just shouldn’t have put it out there.”

The drinking incident happened April 16 at a private home, school district officials said in a written statement. But the statement did not specify what happened, whether it was heavy drinking, hazing or something else.  “Maybe it’s not the smartest move to have put the photos up,” said senior Teddy Ouwerkerk. “I guess Facebook isn’t the most private after all.”
