Hockey is a fast-paced and emotional game. Emotions can sometimes flare, but for the most part players are usually able to keep their emotions in check. Unfortunately for this player, on this day his emotions got the best of him.

During a game, the camera shows a player attempting to chip the puck out of his zone, that's when he collides with the official. After the inadvertent collision the player shoves the official, that's when the official blows the whistle and immediately ejects the player.

After being ejected the player becomes even more upset and charges after the referee, that's when he strikes the first official in the head.

It's clear that this player is better served being off the ice for the remainder of his career, because players like this are why officials are tough to find.
