Watch: 9-year-old hockey players fight like pros
(CBS) - Fighting is as much a part of hockey as skating. The kids have to learn sometime, right? Though maybe nine-years-old is a little young to be throwing punches on the ice. Just don't tell that to these Kazakhstani under-10 players. They'll take your head off.
This is my 9-year-old brother's team Kokshetau - Burabay (green) fighting against the team from the capital city of Kazakhstan - Astana (white). Even though team Astana won against Burabay 5:3, they started talking crap to their opponents during handshake; so the capitan of Burabay's team could not just let it go and started the fight.
My brother Timur Serazhiyev is number 8 for team in green, and he is fighting with number 21 for team in white.
Because that's what it means to be captain: breaking off a post-game handshake to pick a fight. Will these rambunctious Kazakhstanis ever learn?
Oh well, take it to him, Timur!
