Good morning. I'm David Greene. Hockey fans know the moment well when two players stare each other down, skating around until they're in position. Gloves drop, punches fly. Well, in a recent game in the lesser known Federal Hockey League things went differently. A player for the Danville Dashers seemed ready to go at it with his opponent from the Dayton Demons.

One reached into his sock, pulled out a beer, and toasted the crowd. Cool stunt - except for the league which suspended both of them. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
