Goalie Tossed Over Beer Fans of comedies of the 1970s and early 1980s might appreciate what happened during a preseason hockey game between the club teams at the University of Virginia and Virginia Commonwealth. It was something like Animal House meets Slap Shot. With UVA taking it to VCU through two periods with a 7-0 lead heading into the third, Virginia goalie Jake Anderson had a shutout going. With the lopsided score, things were getting a little dull in his own end apparently. Near what appears to have been the student section, a fan decided to reward the home team's goaltender. He came armed with a can and a plan. Anderson was handed a beer over the glass by an exuberant fan, quickly removed his mask, cracked open the presumably cheap can and chugged it right there on the ice. There was nothing subtle about it and the refs didn't let it slide. Anderson was tossed from the game and received a five-minute major according to the post game recap. The 2014-15/2015-16 NCAA hockey rule book does not specifically says you can't drink a beer that enters the field of play. However, USA Hockey's rules as a point of reference that a player found to be drinking a beer on the ice or bench is to be warned by an official first and then a bench minor can be enforced if the player or coach doesn't comply. |
You don't say..... . New food flavored beers that we hope to avoid: Avocado Honey Ale: Island Brewing Company Banana Split Chocolate Stout: Thomas Creek Beer Coconut Curry Hefeweizen: New Belgium Brewery Fire in the Ham: Jack’s Abby ------------------- Fourteen massive beer tents with seating ranging from 6,000 to 10,000 to fill every morning til closing at 10:30 p.m. at Munich's Oktoberfest. ------------- Taco Bell's latest pitch to millennials, the new Cantina restaurants will have an open kitchen and serve beer, wine and frozen alcoholic drinks. The company hopes that selling a stiffer drink might pad the receipts — the typical Taco Bell receipt is in the $7 range. ------------------------- Metallica-branded beer is here. It's made at the Labatt facility in Quebec City Labatt is the Canadian subsidiary of Anheuser-Busch InBev, the Brazilian-Belgian beer giant. It seems that the Metallica beer won't be much different from the normal red-canned Budweiser in any way. ----------------------------- Currently in Pennsylvania customers can buy only up to 192 ounces (two six-packs or a 12-pack).of takeout beer at a time from taverns, restaurants and bottle shops. You can buy more however by just taking the first two outside and return for two more. Really. |
