After arriving in Brisbane this morning with a large bag of hockey equipment, it warmed my cockles – which didn’t need warming in the 85F heat and 8,000% humidity – to discover that a minor league hockey promotion went horribly awry after college students began puking on the ice after chugging beers as part of the “College Olympics” during intermission at the Rapid City Rush game in South Dakota.
According to the Rapid City Journal, two male students vomited on the ice in front of 5,000 fans after chugging four beers while running on the ice, riding a cooler and spinning around a hockey stick.
“It was meant to be fun, but it went completely wrong,” Rush General Manager Tim Hill told the Journal. “I apologize on behalf the organization. Obviously it was in poor taste. The intermission game was not appropriate, and it’s just something we will never do again.”
