Such an incident occurred during the Bangkok Under 18 Invitational after Team Thailand secured a commanding 3-0 victory over Team Hong Kong.
In the aftermath of the game, during the handshake line, an exchange of words escalated into a full-blown brawl, leaving on-ice officials struggling to regain control.
Multiple individual fights broke out, with #24's actions remaining unseen amid the chaos.
While passion and physical play are inherent to the sport, witnessing such altercations after the final whistle casts a shadow on the game's spirit.
This post-game moment is meant for displaying mutual respect earned during the competition, and it's disheartening to see it tarnished by on-ice conflicts.
As fans of the sport, we hope to see players maintain sportsmanship and respect for one another, even in the face of intense competition.
