Being from South Texas, hockey is not the first sport that comes to mind. If someone asked me to name 8 different sports, hockey might not even make the list. But it's not like that everywhere. There are people in other parts of the world that think hockey is the ONLY sport. Apparently, Dierks Bentley is a huge hockey fan.

It turns out Calgary Flames' winger Jarome Iglina completely beats Quick with the puck. However, due to some invisible force, the puck is redirected before it cross the red line.

Is it an optical illusion? Choppy video? An unseen bump or gorge in the ice? A ghost? Check it out, and tell us what you think.

NHL Player Jason Demers Punches Linesman Square in the Face [VIDEO]

The NHL certainly hasn’t lost its fight: San Jose Sharks defenseman Jason Demers was trying to punch Dallas Stars center Steve Ott when linesmen Brian Mach jumped between the two of them in an attempt to break up the fight.

For doing his job, the official got a knuckle sandwich right in the jaw. The incident took place on Saturday, and so far the NHL has declined to take action against Demers for the ref-slugging, which did appear to be completely accidental. Only in hockey.
