Awesome Goal Celebration

[Hockeytown_Ryan 122]

At a Caps game they had the Mites come out and play...

One team scored and the team had a cool celebration

i didn't find the video to be funny, but some of the comments are just ridiculous

SHOCKED the refs didn't call 5 minors for excessive celebration and unsportsmanlike conduct.

Same. I hate kids.

[Lord Stanely 39]

I want to know why the goalie took off skating down the ice????

Nevermind watched it again and noticed the ref was telling them to get off the ice Not signaling a face off at center ice.

i wish they planned to do this, only to back out and have just the goal scorer to do it.......leaving him to look like a twit.

Or the goalie.

I think it's kind of funny. Maybe a bit unsportsmanlike (especially in the adult leagues) but come on, they're kids.

That looked like Setoguchi BEFORE The Sharks score a goal.

Explanation from PD:

Why snow angels? Turns out the celebration stemmed from a slight misunderstanding between the players and Capitals promotions staff before the "Mites on Ice" game, according to Raiders coach Joshua Potter.

The Caps officials were pumping up the young players, talking about how big goal celebrations are encouraged in the between-periods amusement. "They were giving examples of what they could do to celebrate, and one of them said, 'You know, nobody has ever done a snow angel before. I'd love to see a snow angel. If anybody scores and does a snow angel, you'll get the game puck,'" recalled Potter.

"I think they misunderstood and they thought if anybody does a snow angel they get a game puck, not just the scorer," he said. "If you notice, a couple of players from the other team are doing it too."

I still think the only celebration that should happen is one of respectfully gathering to thank your teammates for their play.

I don't hate on this celebration unless it was a part of a trend. I will always respect those who act like they have done it before, but hey it is pretty awesome to score a goal like that on NHL ice. They may never get that chance again and to have fun with it is a great thing.

The only thing I ever want to see during an intermission is the mites out there! keep it up boys and girls!

I wonder what Don Cherry would say about this.

[Donaldjr2448 43]

Ok!! I love this! I am a school teacher and I love when kids enjoy what they are doing! Sooo much emphasis is put on doing the right thing all the time and I understand that! I think anyone who has played any sport understands the pressure these kids are under and I know that many of them do not enjoy playing because of the constant pressure, they simply want to have fun and I enjoy seeing that! Great Video!

Did everybody just skip over the explanation post? They weren't trying to rub it in the other team's face or do any excessive celebration. They were just stupid little kids that misunderstood what they were told.
