Internet Reacts To Youth Hockey Training in Russia That Includes Full-Contact Fight Practice

Russian hockey kids can fight. Hockey can be a rough sport, and in Russia, it’s their #1 sport. They start preparing their kids for the ice straight out of the womb. When it comes to hockey as a sport, defending yourself and being able to throw a punch are all part of the game.  In Russia, they practice that too.  A video showing children practicing hockey fights hit the net today, and everyone weighed in.

Absolutely depressing. Whoever this hockey coach is, give your head a shake. There's a reason Russian hockey was great and it was because you never cared about this kind of stupidity.

How could you think it's a good idea to teach little kids to punch each other in the head?! https://t.co/kzyL2Z12YX

This is exactly why you don’t mess with Ruskies on the ice.

Just imagine how cancel culture would come for the Coach if this was happening in the US.
