So you can forgive one loyal hockey fan for having to change dinner plans based on the fortunes of his favorite team.

The youth hockey coach from Vancouver, Canada has been sentenced to 15 days in jail for tripping opposing players during a postgame handshake last summer. Pretty mean-spirited, right?

Tremblay, 48, went from coaching his son’s team to outright 'hitman' after the game when he was convicted of sticking his foot out, causing two players, aged 10 and 13, to trip and fall on the ice.  One of the victims injured his wrist when he tumbled to the ice.  Prosecutors had initially asked Tremblay to serve 30 days of house arrest, but the judge in the case took it a step further, handing down the 15-day sentence in an attempt to extol the importance of teaching character.
