This clip is a couple weeks old I think at this point.

That’s Brent Sapergia, former player and now current Louisiana IceGators (SPHL) GM.

He had fired his team’s coach only like two games before and… I’m not kidding…. was racking up so many PIM’s behind the bench that SPHL forum fans had started a countdown as to when he’d overtake the team’s leading PIM guy, Frank Littlejohn (an actual player, who himself is a notorious PIM guy who I believe still is banned from playing AA hockey, or at least the current IHL, or something close to that.  I believe the words I’ve kept hearing for him are “indefinite suspension”).

I actually saw this game’s boxscore before the video:  I saw that he’d been penalized for “Objects On Ice” and started laughing out loud because it didn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out what had happened.  Restraint never has and will never be Sapergia’s strong suit.

Sapergia always was and is crazy.  I used to watch him as a player when he played for the Indy Ice of the old IHL and they visited Kalamazoo.  He’d inevitably blow a gasket and get kicked out of the game and then throw even more of a tantrum on the way out.  He tried breaking the glass one time, and I’m pretty sure on another occasion lobbed something into the crowd that way jeering him on the way out.

For the record, the SPHL pretty much banned Sapergia from ever coaching again.  He didn’t care, because he’d already hired a new coach anyways and so he was just making a scene and a fool of himself.  It hasn’t helped his team though.

Roller Hockey Game - C Division game, 1/2 minute left, a guy on the other team decided to throw a bucket of pucks onto the rink, along with a few other items.  Makes this coach look like a fool.  I just wish somebody taped it
