In what might be one of the strangest moments in hockey recently, a three-on-three tournament for 10-year-olds in Alberta culminated in a fight between the referee and what is reported to be team coaches. The incident was tweeted by podcast host Dean Millard. He says he was told it happened after the referee was slashed by a player and "responded in a physical way."

MIllard later tweeted the fight extended into the Zamboni area, and an ambulance was called to the scene.

The organizers of the Quest for the Cup three-on-three tournament in Lethbridge later released a statement on Facebook condemning the actions of those involved in the fighting and stated they were cooperating fully with local police.
