CBR Brave chairman caught on video in fight during Australian Ice Hockey League game
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-05-17/c ... me/9770872
Fights are nothing new in ice hockey, but they are usually confined to the field of play and rarely involve bins and booze being thrown.
The CBR Brave is currently without a chairman after a fight in the stands during a game against the Sydney Bears on Saturday prompted his resignation.
Brave chairman Peter Chamberlain was caught on video arguing with Bears players at the Macquarie Ice Rink before the players appeared to squirt water at him.
The Brave's manager, Andrew Deans, told ABC Canberra that Chamberlain then "tipped a little bit of his beer down on the guy" before a member of the crowd launched a bin at him, sparking an all-in shoving match between the fans.
Deans said the argument started after a Brave player had to be taken out of the game after a heavy hit following a Bears timeout in the dying seconds of the match.
Chamberlain has since apologised to the fans, both clubs and the league for his part in the confrontation.
"I let [my emotions] get the better of me, retaliating to what I thought was inappropriate [behaviour] but conceding in hindsight, that in doing so, I only made matters worse," he wrote in a club statement.
"I am fully aware that interacting with the players bench during a game is unacceptable behaviour.
"As chairman of the CBR Brave, I am responsible for setting the standards of culture and behaviour at our club and I am not proud of the role I played in this embarrassing incident."
Chamberlain has stepped down from his position as chairman until further notice.
Deans said Chamberlain had "been hung out to dry" and he hoped there was some serious action taken against the fan who threw the bin as well.
The Brave won the game 3-1 by the way.

Australian Tim Cahill still worth his Socceroos World Cup place, even if Jamie Maclaren was hard done by
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-05-15/t ... tion=sport
For Socceroos coach Bert van Marwijk, it seems, form is fleeting but class has permanence.
How else to explain a preference in his World Cup squad for a 38-year-old forward who has played 63 minutes of football across 10 English second-tier games this calendar year, over a man who has scored at a rate of a goal every other game over the same period?
Jamie Maclaren, the man to miss out, had a weekend of contrasting emotions.
Informed he had been cut from van Marwijk's Aussie World Cup group — trimmed from 32 to 26 — he then struck a hat-trick in Hibernian's 5-5 draw with Rangers in the Scottish Premier League.
That took him to eight goals from 15 matches at Easter Road after a loan move from SV Darmstadt, whom he left Brisbane Roar for last winter before enduring a difficult half season in Germany.
Tim Cahill has seen less meaningful action of late, but appears to have survived the cut on the back of his past contributions and a belief that, even as the sun is setting on his domestic career, he still has the force of personality to offer something off the bench at a fourth consecutive World Cup.
It is an argument, Maclaren's exclusion aside, that retains merit. Especially for a side lacking depth of options at the top end of the pitch.
Van Marwijk himself recently described Cahill as a "special case".
His ability to produce on the grand occasion — something he reminded fans and the coaches about without subtlety via his social media channels this month — is legend.
But this rose is an extra. - A. Conan Doyle
