It happens.

Fans were treated to an odd, if not gross, incident during Friday’s hockey (the ice kind) game between the Tampa Bay Lightning and Pittsburgh Penguins.

Play came to a halt midway through the first period after Leggo, an NHL official with over 1,000 games under his belt, vomited on the ice.

Twice.

The game was delayed several minutes. Leggo was given the rest of the day off and the matchup resumed under the three-official system.
