ABBOTSFORD (NEWS1130) - You normally expect to see the fireworks on the ice, not on the bench. A video of Abbotsford Heat head coach Jim Playfair losing it Friday night has now gone viral on YouTube. The AHL has fined Playfair but not suspended him.
Jason Benner explains what happened from the News1130 Sports Centre...
"Jim Playfair was upset after one of this players was tossed from the game for bumping into the Hamilton goalie. That pushed the Heat coach over the edge, showing just how mad he was by breaking sticks and tossing them on the ice."
The Heat ended up losing to the Hamilton Bulldogs 4-0.
